** Description changed: + [Later edit: Clearify and some spelling corrections.] + This bug might affect or have it's source in another package. I just putted it where I found the troubble. Feel free to change if you like. (This might affect unattended-upgrades as well, i don't know.) I will first tell what I found, and then what I expect instead. Last of all, a workaround. PROBLEM - I'm running a fulle updated Saucy 13.10, with critical and recomended repos enabled. Not backports or proposed. + I'm running a fully updated Saucy 13.10, with critical and recommended repos enabled. Not backports or proposed. update-manager version 1:0.194.1 I have lately found out about the apt-build package. When I install that package it also installs several others. It also, this is crucial, ads a - line in the sources list. But there is no change in - /etc/apt/sources.list. (Suprinsing) So the change is made somewere else - thats affects the sources-manager. The new row is "file:/var/cache/apt- - build/repository". I don't know where the actual addition is made, but - it's visible in tha update-manager-GUI. + line in the sources list found in sources-manager-GUI. But there is no + change in /etc/apt/sources.list. (Suprinsing) So the change is made + somewere else thats affects the sources-manager. The new row is + "file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository". I don't know where the actual + addition is made, but it's visible in tha sources-manager-GUI. This new line complicates thing. When I run update-manager it complains that it could not "download" all files. If I uncheck that line in the sources-manager, then the software-updater works as normal again. The error message looks like this: ------------ "W:Failed to fetch file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-i386/Packages File not found , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead." ----------- WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN I expect that the software-updater can tell difference of local and remote files, and only demand download and updated of the later. The local ones can be used as they are. WORKAROUND Keep the row "file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository" deactivated in sources manager. Only enable it when you are messing around with apt-build, then deactivate it again. The own-build packages doesn't seem to be classified as obolsete/local in synaptic on this account.
