Thanks Joe, and also Krzysztof Wlodarski for suggesting alternative paths. If others hit this error, switch to: deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/debian sarge main deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/debian sarge main With these in place I'm able to install idzebra. Note that the "apt-get update" does still throw an error, but it appears to be a benign error simply warning me that Linux can't confirm the source's identity. Installation seems to be progressing fine despite the error: W: GPG error: http://ftp.indexdata.dk sarge Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 38E53A727F1D2347 Andy Giesler University of Wisconsin-Madison From: Joe Atzberger [mailto:ohiocore@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 1:46 PM To: ANDREW MICHAEL EFREM GIESLER Cc: Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] ftp.indexdata.dk packages "404 Not Found" Strange. Indexdata may be moving around their repositories. It looks like some directories may have falled out of their paths. I can find the Packages.gz file you mentioned, for example: 404: <http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists/indexdata/sarge/released/binary-i386/P ackages.gz> http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists/indexdata/sarge/released/binary-i386/Pa ckages.gz found: http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Similarly for Sources.gz: <http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists/indexdata/sarge/released/sources/Sourc es.gz> http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists/indexdata/sarge/released/sources/Source s.gz <http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists/sarge/main/source/Sources.gz> http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists/sarge/main/source/Sources.gz Not sure how to reconfigure sources.list to make apt-get work (looks like remove /indexdata at least), but you should be able to retrieve the files manually. --Joe On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 2:07 PM, ANDREW MICHAEL EFREM GIESLER <agiesler@wisc.edu> wrote: Hello, I'm installing Koha 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.04. I've successfully installed the same configuration on the same machine twice in the last few weeks.

Check out Apatar, it¹s a free ³Data Mashup Tool² that allows you to drag data connectors onto a desktop (each connector has credentials associated with it) and then you can connect fields from each data connector to ³mash up tools² where you can manipulate the data however you want and then output to another data connector. This includes, lookups, concatenations, extractions, etc... These guys make their money on custom connectors, but the list of db sources already included is pretty big.... .CSV, MySQL, Postgres, MS-SQL, Amazon S3, SalesForce, text, excel, etc... http://www.apatar.com /brian chee On 10/21/08 10:01 AM, "Damien Davis" <damien.davis@gmx.com> wrote:

I have been given the task of migrating a SydneyPlus library database into a fresh koha install. Unfortunately this proprietary vendor doesn't make a smooth transitioning tool available so I'm wondering what the best way to go about this would be. I'm not very versed in Mysql and so far my only two clear ideas involve using a script to crawl the web pages of the current database to gather the information or to export the Mysql database table by table. I really don't know if either of those two things are viable and someone mentioned that I might be able to automatically generate the information from other libraries using a Z39.50 client but I'm not sure about that either. The library has eight thousand books. I appreciate any insight you guys can give me on this.
