Things might be OK. Things I did: * googled for errorackage -- found some pages but not much help -- some pages gave long lists of instructions to try, but it sounded more like a shotgun approach than any real knowledge based thing. Some people thought it meant a hardware bus error, some thought some kind of memory problem (hardware or not), others just suggested commands to try -- maybe there is a better page out there that I didn't find * Aside: what the heck does errorackage mean / stand for and what is it telling me? Who came up with that "word"? * I edited sources.list to get rid of the jessie-updates (I don't think that did anything significant with respect to the errorackage error) * I did a df and found /boot and /var close to full, I examined /var expecting to find a lot of space used for the apt archives, but instead there was a bunch of stuff (in /var/tmp as opposed to /var/cache/apt/archives) related to mkinit... (I'm writing from a different computer, so I couldn't copy and paste) -- something like over 1.5 GB -- deleted all that, then did: apt-get update apt-get upgrade That seemed to work pretty well, I mean, it seemed to install everything except the new linux kernel which was held back. tried: apt-get dist-upgrade Found a message in there that said a partition / filesystem was out of space -- /var looked ok, so cleared out some space in /boot by deleting an old kernel (something like n.n.n -04) tried apt-get dist-upgrade This time saw a message that it didn't work and suggested that I try apt-get -f install <and then, presumably, a packagename> instead, I tried apt-get -f dist-upgrade That seemed to work, so things may be ok -- I guess I'll have to watch the system for a while and think about rebooting (to put the new kernel in service). > > What I did and why: > > I understood from some other posts on the list that the mirrored > repositories for Wheezy and Jessie went away in early March, so (for > Jessie) I found a post that told me what the content of > /etc/apt/sources.list should be for Jessie LTS. > > I then ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade below are the results. > > I think I know how to fix one part of the problem -- I think I need to > remove the references to jessie-updates from the sources.list file.
