Adapting Debian Sarge installation instructions (sources list) for Debian Squeeze?

  • 772

I'm pretty new to sysadmin, and I'm trying to install the UltraMonkey load-balancer on Debian 6.0 - Squeeze.

The installation instructions for Debian Sarge say to edit sources.list:

deb http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/3/ sarge main
deb-src http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/3 sarge main

I tried this, but when I do apt-get install ultramonkey I get Unable to locate package ultramonkey.

I then tried editing the sources to: 

deb http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/3/ squeeze main
deb-src http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/3 squeeze main

But still the same issue.

Does anyone know how to adapt this for Squeeze, or is the answer basically 'You can't install UltraMonkey on Squeeze'?

  1. Debian Sarge was 3.1, after that came 4, 5 and now 6. You shouldn't even try installing such an old package to a new system (and it's highly likely it won't work at all).

    Generally, I would consider a project which has its last release in 2007 as dead and look for other alternatives.

    If you insist, you will have to install it from the source code, but this is likely quite involved and nothing for a beginner.
