@peter
Nope, the post is not very old. The date can bee seen below the post and just before comments (in a gray box), in this case it would be May 10th, 2009 so it was this year. I suspect that the package name must have been changed (I believe that Debian Lenny was already replaced Eth as new stable version of Debian so that should not be the reason though).

I haven’t investigated on this yet but I guess I should. It might be possible that the package can be found from somewhere else than official Debian Stable repository but I don’t think so. I will look into this later but right now I suspect that this is because the package name has propably changed (like you suspected).

Please, if anyone knows better just post a comment here to educate us others :)

Hi,

thanks for your posting.
Can it be that the package has been changed by now into some other name?

I received the following message.
————————————————————–
Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate
————————————————————–

Or is your posting very old? (can’t see the date)
