Hi!
I am new to Debian. I have trying to install qwtplot3d on my
machine; however I get the following error:

# apt-get install qwtplot3d
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package qwtplot3d

The package qwtplot3d is available on ftp.debian.org at
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qwtplot3d/

if you look at the .deb files in that directory you will see that there
is no *binary* package by the name "qwtplot3d". qwtplot3d is the
*source* package for a bunch of binary packages (their corresponding
files all begin with libqwtplot3d and end in .deb).

also if you look you will see that there are only amd64 and i386 binary
packages. if you are running a different architecture than those, you
will have to wait for the debian build system to create the packages or
compile them yourself.
