He fell for the debian meme.

what the fuck were you trying to install user? I've never had this issue, only with nvidia drivers but even that didnt fail like what you're describing.

>oh fuck, i need to compile this shit
What were you trying to compile? Weird how nobody actually answers this or provides this information
>so i need to download this, and this, and this other shit
Yep, that's generally how it works

Welcome to Debian Stable. Debian Stable is used quite often for servers, user. Being stable is far more important in that context than being up to date. It's the same thing with RHEL. They use security patches to fix vulnerabilities, but leave out the bleeding-edge feature updates because the last thing businesses need is for their production server to stop working the same as it always has.

That's the appeal of linux imo. You get to feel like a hacker typing in installation commands.

You're supposed to build packages inside a chroot you imbecile. Debian offers a bunch of tools to help set that up and build .deb packages directly, without running make install.
Hell, OpenSUSE offers a free online tool to build packages on their servers.
You're a moron, OP.
David Ortiz
have you tried actually learning how the distro you are trying to use works (re: testing/unstable, actually wanting to compile stuff yourself on debian)
