Problems downloading programmes

I am trying to download some programs(in particular texmaker) but i get this:

E: Failed to obtain http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/texmaker/texmaker_4.3-1_amd64.deb  403  Forbidden [IP: *IP number*]

The command i used for download this software is the following:

sudo apt-get install texmaker
Solution

  • For anyone else with this issue, steps to follow:

    1 - Download the .deb file

    • Manually (use this link)
    • Code: wget ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/…

    2 - Install the package (.deb file)

    • sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file (change the path to the correct one)
