Then run:apt-get update
You have now several possibilities:
- You never installed any sourceforge or gforge package, just:
apt-get install gforgeand answer carefully to all the questions, it is preferable to let the install touch your config files, though it's not the default because of debian policy.- You want old sourceforge (more tested than gforge, with themes and foundries, almost the classical 2.6.1 coming from the last known cvs snapshot from VA.
apt-get install sourceforge- You want new gforge, but you have already sourceforge installed
apt-get install gforge-sourceforge-transitionwill dump your db and move your files, thenapt-get install gforgewill uninstall sourceforge and install gforge with the dumped data
