I want to install Remastersys, but I get the following error:

$ sudo apt-get install remastersys  
Reading package lists... Done  
Building dependency tree  
Reading state information... Done  
E: Unable to locate package remastersys

Searching for Remastersys in Software Center also doesn't give proper results:

remastersys search on USC

I have tried following these instructions and have added Software Sources as shown in the following screenshot, but I still get the same error:

Use remastersys.

http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu.html

Please read the instruction carefully.

  1. In Firefox, go to :

    http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu/remastersys.gpg.key.

    save file as text someplace where you can find it.

  2. In synaptic, go to Settings/Repositories; select Authentication tab and Import Key File just downloaded.

  3. Still in synaptic, go to Other Software tab and click Add, then enter the apt line

    deb http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu oneiric main

  4. After adding it, a new apt line will automatically added ended with Source. You need to uncheck it

  5. Leave the repositories tab and "Reload".

  6. Search for remastersys and select for install. Edit/Apply Marked Changes.

  • this didn't work, I'll update the question with details. – Michael Durrant Jun 04 '12 at 18:59
  • This solution correctly shows loading an **Oneiric** (Ubuntu 11.10) key, but your screen shots show **Karmic** (Ubuntu 9.10) sources. – david6 Jun 05 '12 at 09:11
  • sure. Well I am definitely running 11.10 so tried again but still not working and stuck. – Michael Durrant Jun 07 '12 at 05:11
  • don't use `geekconnection` url. Use remastersys url as posted in the link. And don't forget to uncheck `source` line. – Web-E Jun 07 '12 at 05:56
