[Rob (radvansky.robert)]

brand new BETA (not-live ver) 10.11 installed on entire disk from scratch, week ago build from 1st Sept.

64bit ver, Chromium.
updated all patches.

unable to download APT from Adobe's site:
1)
"Not found
There isn't a software package called "adobe-flashplugin" in your current software sources."

2)
via U Soft Cen:
it's found and after submitting pass, indicator kind of hangs for second like if it was installing and then skips rights to the end with no avail.

3)
terminal:
"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

another hint:
4)
Skype was installed successfully, but doesn't run.
did try to reinstall and tried only-repository ver, and also tried one off their web...

thanks!

That distro have reached EOL since a while; and such problem has been resolved long time ago.
