Updating orca error

Updating orca error

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello list,

I was trying to update orca using mark Christopher gillen instructions. I am using ubuntu mate and after following the instructions where he says to type sudo apt-get build-dep orca i got the following error.

You must put some ‘source’ URIs in your sources.list . What is wrong , how do i fix this problem? Also I've never had any problems up until now.

Going assumption some form of debian is being run.  Could be ubuntu
vinux or debian.  A file /etc/apt/sources.list should be found on your
system.  If you installed linux without connecting to the internet
entirely from disks then no internet repository got selected for you to
use for installation of packages or updates to packages.  In terminal,
you might try running which select-mirror to see if it's on your system
and if so, run select-mirror and answer questions and you'll be able to
have your system update that /etc/apt/sources.list file correctly for
you.  Then try that build command again and it should not complain about
that error again.

You're doing the update in your user account and your
/etc/apt/sources.list won't be found in your user account.  Try running
sudo in front of that orca build deps command and then it should work.
