Yes that step works perfectly, but the host would still be in section "Unknown" if sudoers does not contain: user ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/aptitude update, /usr/bin/apt-get update Nevertheless manual verification what the problem is does not help beginners which try apt-dater the first time - they are left without any clue what was wrong or how it should be if it fails completely silent. best regards Markus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
