apt-get update works fine. I was able to install nano, but when I tried apt-get install htop i got the following error. I received the same error with a couple other common packages as well like tightvncserver.
root@FriendlyARM:~# apt-get install htop

If you can't get the packet via apt-get; you can always do install from source :

Thank you, but I should not have to do that. Something is not right.

Maybe, go to /etc/apt/ and modify the sources.list to a Debian mirror in your country.
If you can apt-get install dctrl-tools
try:
Also,
Code: Select all
apt-get clean all
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get install -f (maybe look this one up before running as I forget what this one does)

Mike,
Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list
Code: Select all
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ wily universe multiverse
deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ wily universe

Hi,
Got the same problem with some packages.
But it worked by installing an older version:
wget
http://hisham.hm/htop/releases/1.0.3/htop-1.0.3.tar.gz./configure; make; make install (made some problems because of an missing package)
used apt-get install libncursesw to install extra packages:
The following extra packages will be installed:
libtinfo-dev libtinfo5-dbg
Suggested packages:
ncurses-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libncursesw5-dbg libncursesw5-dev libtinfo-dev libtinfo5-dbg
after that it worked smoth
