However, if you do an upgrade every month, your system should not (for example) be wanting to install that openssh-blacklist package which was from May 2008. So something is clearly wrong. Have you tried googling for <$__ANONIO__> ? If you do, you will find several links back to this list. I suggest you search for that string in the following link, as there are several matches: http://lists.debian.org/search.html A quick glance suggests that the problem is some sort of dpkg corruption, for example, this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/09/msg03085.html You may do better asking again on this list but without referring to NSLU2 in your subject. It seems that running a slug is not relevant in this instance, but many people may think that it is and tend to ignore you ;-) It is worth noting that etch is very soon to become 'oldstable' and lenny will be the new stable. If you do decide to upgrade to lenny then you may want to consider the latest NSLU2 armel installer for lenny here: http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-dls.php with instructions here: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Good luck. > > On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 01:22:48 -0800, Eric Higgins > (erichigg...@gmail.com) wrote: > > > I've noticed recently that I can no longer perform upgrades on my > > Linksys NSLU2 running Debian ARM. > > No luck from the debain-arm mailing list, they suggested I try this one. > > Any help would be appreciated. > > > > -Eric > > > > # uname -a > > Linux NSLUG 2.6.18-6-ixp4xx #1 Tue Feb 12 00:57:53 UTC 2008 armv5tel > > GNU/Linux > > > > # apt-get dist-upgrade > > Reading package lists...
