James and Bob go to the grid.

The first and lamest attempt was a simple apt-get install gnuradio. This failed miserably due to unresolved dependeniceis. Following the instructions of (http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/DebianPackages) for Ubuntu installations, we added

{{{
deb http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu stable main contrib
deb-src http://gnuradio.org/ubuntu stable main
}}}

to the /etc/apt/sources.list

This didn't help. The trail of failed dependencies goes as follows:
{{{
gnuradio -> python-gnuradio -> python-gnuradio-comedi ->  libcomedi-0.7.22
}}}

the last one is not installable as there is no package target. 

It should be noted that the baseline image is based on debian (and not ubuntu, so this may be the problem).
