Failed to get LIRC

[widescreen]

Hi, I got lmce to detect my transceiver and it starts installation but "failed to get LIRC Daemon, client library headers and modules" comes up followed by "failed to get pluto dce wrapper".  Any suggestions?

Same problem here when trying to add my serial IR receiver.

well either nobody knows or cares, so if you get it going let me know.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

This no longer works for 10.4, Tried to install via the command and it does't work.

There is no where to change to old

Hi Phenigma

Am I changing these right, was already on the wiki page but there is only one  archive   deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner, so I think I have changed them correctly

please advise
Gov

A couple of things.  The canonical archive is likely not providing software anymore and medibuntu flat out doesn't exist anymore.

This is how the old-releases entries should look.  Adjust for your distro.
