[bashcommando]

I was going to build a kernel on Linux Lite and it said the packages didn't exist. Help?

Take your pick I guess. Howdy and Welcome from a Linux using biker.

[bashcommando]

Nonono. I NEED libncurses5-dev and dpkg-dev. This is KERNEL development and it will NOT work with a substitute.

[rokytnji]

Code:

libncurses5-dev - developer's libraries for ncurses

Code:

dpkg-dev - Debian package development tools

Nonono. I NEED libncurses5-dev and dpkg-dev. This is KERNEL development and it will NOT work with a substitute.

Errrrrr. Alrighty then.

[bashcommando]

Code:

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev dpkg-dev

It's not working. Are you using a repo I don't have?

[rokytnji]

I don't know bro.

Take a look see I guess.

This is a stock install. I removed a repo or 2 myself so it/my repo list,  may be a bit lighter since my intro.
