<a name="Third_party_packages"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">1  Third party packages </span></h2>
<p>Many unofficial .debs are available from <a href="http://apt-get.org/" class="external free.html" title="http://apt-get.org/" rel="nofollow">http://apt-get.org/</a>
</p>
<a name="Backports"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">2  Backports </span></h2>
<p>Packages in the Testing and Unstable distributions are often unavailable for the Stable distribution. You cannot install the Testing/Unstable packages because of dependency issues.
</p><p>Packages at <a href="http://www.backports.org/" class="external free.html" title="http://www.backports.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.backports.org/</a> are compiled against libraries in the Stable distribution.
</p><p>LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP) packages at <a href="http://dotdeb.org/" class="external free.html" title="http://dotdeb.org/" rel="nofollow">http://dotdeb.org/</a> are compiled against libraries in the Stable distribution.

<a name="Using_the_commandline_to_install_individual_packages"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">3.1  Using the commandline to install individual packages </span></h3>
<p>Download the .deb file and install from the commandline using <code>dpkg</code> as user root.
</p>
<pre>$ su
<i>(enter root password)</i>

# dpkg -i <i>name-of-package.deb</i>
# exit
$
</pre>
<p>Uninstall using the -r switch to remove the package.
</p>
<pre>$ su
<i>(enter root password)</i>

# dpkg -r <i>name-of-package.deb</i>
# exit
$
</pre>
<a name="Adding_a_repository_using_Synaptic"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">3.2  Adding a repository using Synaptic </span></h3>
<p>If you are using <b>Synaptic</b> in the X Window System, you must add the repository to <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> using
</p>
<pre>Settings -&gt; Repositories
</pre>
<p>Open the tab for
</p>
<pre>Third-Party Software
</pre>
<p>and click the 
</p>
<pre>Add
</pre>
<p>button. Type or paste in (Ctrl-V) the appropriate line. For example, if you wished to backport Squeeze packages into Lenny from <i>backports.org</i> you would add the line
</p>
<pre>deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free
</pre>
<p>Click on the 
</p>
<pre>Add Source
</pre>
<p>button and then
</p>
<pre>Close
</pre>
<a name="How_to_remove_backports_before_Debian_upgrade"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">4  How to remove backports before Debian upgrade </span></h2>
<p>If you are upgrading to a new version of Debian (eg Lenny -&gt; Squeeze), you may wish to remove your backported packages first (since they cannot be upgraded).
</p>
<a name="Commandline"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">4.1  Commandline </span></h3>
<p>You can identify backported packages and remove them before upgrading. To find all the currently installed ('~i) packages from backports.org ('~Obackports'), run this search:
</p>
<pre>$ aptitude search '~i ~Obackports'
</pre>
<p>Remove the backports.
</p><p>To find all the currently installed ('~i) packages not ('!') from debian.org ('~!Odebian'), run this search:
</p>
<pre>$ aptitude search '~i&nbsp;!~Odebian'
</pre>
<p>This will find all the unofficial packages on your system including locally installed packages.
</p><p>For more information see Aptitude's command line reference in the README at /usr/share/doc/aptitude/README.
</p>
<a name="Synaptic"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">4.2  Synaptic </span></h3>
<p>Remove backports.org from sources.list. They should all show up as "Installed (local or obsolete)". You can do this within Synaptic:
</p>
<pre> Settings -&gt; Repositories
</pre>
<p>Open the tab for
</p>
<pre>Third-Party Software
</pre>
<p>View the /etc/sources.list entries. Highlight the relevant entry, click the 
</p>
<pre>Remove
</pre>
<p>button and 
</p>
<pre>Close
</pre>
<p>Next, reload the package information.
</p>
<pre>Edit -&gt; Reload Package Information
</pre>
<p>You have removed the repository, but the packages remain. Identify them and remove them. In the left-hand panel click on the "Status" button and choose "Installed (local or obsolete)"
</p>
<pre>Status -&gt; Installed (local or obsolete)
</pre>
<p>Remove the packages.
</p>
<a name="Debian_Multimedia"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">5  Debian Multimedia </span></h2>
<p>This repository is a must if you want to add functionality such as dealing with mp3 formats etc. There are instructions on the home page at <a href="http://debian-multimedia.org/" class="external free.html" title="http://debian-multimedia.org/" rel="nofollow">http://debian-multimedia.org/</a>. The best way to make use of the repository is to add it to your <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>. It is recommended that you also add the Debian Multimedia keyring to your system so that you can download and install packages, confident that they do not pose a security risk.
</p><p>Download the debian-multimedia-keyring package from the loink on the home page at <a href="http://www.debian-multimedia.org/" class="external free.html" title="http://www.debian-multimedia.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.debian-multimedia.org/</a>. For example,
</p>
<pre><a href="http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb" class="external free.html" title="http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb" rel="nofollow">http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb</a>
</pre>
<p>Then install it as root:
</p>
<pre>$ su
<i>(enter root password)</i>

# dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
# exit
$
</pre>
<p>Finally add
</p>
<pre>deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main</pre>
<p>to <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> as described above in <a href="Unofficial_Debian_packages#Adding_a_repository_using_Synaptic.html" title="">.html#Adding a repository using Synaptic</a>.
