Hi,

Package insync 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
However the following packages replace it:
  insync

As you see - added repository points to jessie (according to instruction from insync download page). But apt-cache shows that wheezy version (Debian 7.0) is used. Maybe that introduce this problem.
Can you help me to solve this problem?

#2

@T4ng10r Unfortunately I was unable to replicate your issue; Insync installed for me successfully. Maybe try clearing your cache?

#3

Yes, you’re right. Some Linux apt problems. Clean didn’t help, but it was so early in install and setup system that I easily reinstall whole system.

PS. How can I mark this question as solved?

#4

@T4ng10r There’s no official way unfortunately. Editing the title as you did looks like a possible workaround.
