Prepare Ubuntu to install IBM Notes 9.0.1 FP7

Install Synaptic. We need to install some packages

sudo apt-get install synaptic

Start Synaptic and go to Settings -> Repositories -> Other software

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse

Close Synaptic. It will ask to reload the repositories and maybe you get the index reporitory error, you can ignore it.
