Hi Stephen,

I had the same problem a few month ago. Finally, after look for a lot
of webs, the problem was in our firewall (fortinet). I think you
should look the internet connectivity in your firewall for this
machine. Are you change the server on another place?

Regards,
David

That is correct. You are using Debian Stable 6.0.5 (aka "Squeeze"). Debian 7.0 
(aka "Wheezy") is still in testing, but IS due to migrate to stable in a few 
months.

You can either update to Wheezy now or wait until it becomes stable,
depending on your preferences.

Not a problem. I believe there's some software (it might be synaptic,
I'm not sure) which makes back-ups of your apt-sources. You can safely
ignore this message.

You should be wary of downloading packages from this repository as you
have no guarantee that they are the files released by its maintainers
(That is, you might download them correctly, but if a suspicious
package was uploaded to the server, you can't tell).

These look like an error in your apt-sources. According to "whois",
multimedia.org is hosted by a domain-parking name server. Probably you
meant deb-multimedia.org? But there isn't[1] a US mirror for them, so
I'm not sure.

While this[1] is marked as "obsolete", it's still a good starting place.

Debian Wheezy Architecture

2012-10-18 Thread Stephen P. Molnar
Debian 6.0.5 (64 bit)/KDE 4.4.5

I have just migrated to Debian and would like to implement Multiarch.
According to the Debian Wiki it is present in dkpg since 1.16.2.
However, the version in my installation is 1.15.8.3.

When I try to update the Synaptic Package Manager I get some error
messages that don't mean anything to me at this stage in my
understanding (?).

Here are the error messages:

Ignoring file 'opera.list.save' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/'
as it has an invalid filename extension

Ignoring file 'opera.list.save' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/'
as it has an invalid filename extension

GPG error: http://cran.case.edu squeeze-cran/ Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY 06F90DE5381BA480GPG 

error: http://www.deb.us.multimedia.org squeeze Release: The following
signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2

Failed to fetch
http://www.deb.us.multimedia.org/dists/squeeze/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2
Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2)

Failed to fetch

Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2)

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

The /etc/apt/sources.lst is:

# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 DVD

non-free

What I really need is a pointer towards a really basic discussion of
Synaptic an apt.

Thanks in advance.
