Hi Michel,

Johannes' problem was related to the absence of source packages. Dynare is actually packaged in Ubuntu (it's the unmodified Debian package), in the universe section.

Hi Johannes,

currently, you only source of packages is http://archive.ubuntu.com (and
the source of security updates)

I doubt that the dynare package for debian is in there.

You should add a source for Debian packages. Some of my lines are

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

You should use testing. I believe that you can omit "contrib non-free"

Alternatively, you can google to find ubuntu archives containing the
dynare package.

Best

Michel
