[Voyage-linux] Installation problem

[Markus Fischer]

Hej Steve,

Shot in the dark, but check your /etc/apt/sources.list

Usually the command prompt of "apt-get update" would have shown some
unresolved/unavailable sources. Comment them out e.g. to check if that
is the problem.
Also make sure your Inet settings work properly, otherwise apt-get
wouldn't be able to check the sources anyway. But I guess you did check
that already.

Greets and good luck,
Markus

PS: If the problem persists, prompt a little bit more detailed screen
info, which you see.
