I am running up-to-date Buster, unfortunately there seems to be a bit of
a problem.
Normally I run the update process several times a week with the command
sudo apr update && sudo apt upgrade. This morning this resulted in the
error
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
brscan4
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
E: Can't find a source to download version '0.4.8-1' of 'brscan4:amd64'
After unpacking 0 B will be used.
E: Can't find a source to download version '0.4.8-1' of 'brscan4:amd64'
E: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download
E: Perhaps the package lists are out of date, please try 'aptitude
update' (or equivalent); otherwise some packages or versions are not
available from the current repository sources
I reinstalled the Brother printer drivers, apparently barscan4 was not
included. I contgaced Brother tech support, but was told that they did
not support Linux.
I tried:
sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists.old
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
This resulted in a long list of get: (ellipses) followed by my user
prompt. Unfortunately, update generated the same errors.
At this point I don't have the faintest idea as to how to proceed.
Pointers towards a solution to the problem will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
