I am running LN3 which I upgraded to Sarge using DVDs. Prior to that I did some upgrading via Backports but have since commented out Backports in the sources.list file. Everything was going well until I decided to reinstall Digikam and its plugins. The error message I received via apt-get and Synaptic is as follows:
Package digikam is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package digikam has no installation candidate
My sources.list file is:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-2 (20060419)]/ unstable contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)]/ unstable contrib main

I'm not sure how to correct the problem. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
