Question

I have a bit of a problem. I am on Debian Squeeze, and I want to install sqlite2. The problem is, when I try with:

# pip install pysqlite2

I get:

Downloading/unpacking pysqlite2
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pysqlite2
No distributions at all found for pysqlite2
Storing complete log in /root/.pip/pip.log

The same error I get when I try with:

# pip install python-pysqlite2

I also tried with easy_install:

# easy_install pysqlite2
Searching for pysqlite2
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pysqlite2/
Couldn't find index page for 'pysqlite2' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/
No local packages or download links found for pysqlite2
Best match: None

I also tried with downloading the pyslite2 package from here, and when I try with:

# dpkg -i python-pysqlite2-dbg_2.6.0-1_amd64.deb

I get the following error:

Selecting previously deselected package python-pysqlite2-dbg.
(Reading database ... 144103 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking python-pysqlite2-dbg (from python-pysqlite2-dbg_2.6.0-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python-pysqlite2-dbg:

 python-pysqlite2-dbg depends on python-dbg; however:
  Package python-dbg is not installed.
dpkg: error processing python-pysqlite2-dbg (--install):

I would really appriciate help for this.

Thanks in advance!

Just run apt-get install to install all missing dependencies:

apt-get -f install
