It could be due to archive signature being incorrect or something. You
can *force*-override this with [ trusted=yes ] in the "deb" line, as in;

deb [ trusted=yes ] http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
non-free contrib

But it is strongly recommended against using this arbitrarily. (I use
it for home-grown local archives only)

Problem using "apt-get update"

[Richard Owlett]

I had just done a minimal (command line only) install of Stretch from 
the first DVD of the complete set rather than using netinst to conserve 
bandwidth. The install as usual was successful.


I wish to install a package from the repository - it's not on DVD1.
I added the line
  deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
to sources.list while commenting out the line referencing CDROM.

I attempted to run "apt-get update".
It *FAILED*
The message was the source I wanted was being ignored.

Users will come across httpredir.debian.org in the documentation so it
was an attempt to head off any confusion which might have arisen in this
thread over the use of two different URIs for the same resource. I think
the redirector developer has committed to both working.

A misleading statement. The non-free archive is marked for inclusion but
the user must choose to have it written to sources.list,

If non-free firmware is provided during the course of using the installer
the "official" sources.list includes non-free.

Whatever. To have a fully functioning system you need contrib and
non-free in your sources.list, sure, you could go out of your way and
buy hardware which doesn't need any firmware, but guess what, those
people don't tend to post to this list asking for help.

> I don't recommend non-free software to anyone as a matter of principle.

Sure, but when their computer stops working because of an update and the
installed firmware blob is no longer working, they'll complain to this
list --- and guess what the posted solution will be? 

I'm certain it will be "oh, you're missing contrib and non-free in your
sources.list"

It appears there was some talk about refining the sources.list, but it's
not so straight forward:

If looks don't matter, then why did you correct my recommendation of
http.debian.net? It points to the same thing anyway, and is easier to

Correction: complete *official* setup anyway. Unless Debian has dropped

It's not complete, it's missing contrib and non-free.

Looks do not matter. Either works for now and, for most users, it saves

Such (not always transient) errors are not unknown but the redirector
cannot turn a malfunctioning mirror into a well-behaved one. The place
to report such an issue is mirr...@lists.debian.org.

I wonder what the reaction would have been to a suggestion for Amr Saber
to use

  deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ jessie main non-free contrib ?

httpredir.debian.org/debian/ mitigates the need to think about and
investigate which specific mirror to choose. Of course both can be put
in sources.list.

Even better:

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

99.9% of Debian users will never need the deb-src entries.

Assuming you're running stable,

deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ stable main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ stable-updates main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ stable-proposed-updates main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ stable-backports main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

is the complete setup. For testing, just remove backports and replace
'stable' with 'testing'.

http.debian.net/debian/

is exactly the same as

httpredir.debian.org/debian/

The .org indicates it is an official, supported mirror but it makes no
difference when updating and downloading. The former gets you to the
latter.

Problem with apt-get and sources.list

Hi there,
While I was configuring some thing in the sources.list file as apt-get
couldn't get any package I wanted or asked for (I double checked the

any way, The problem is that the sources.list file was accidentally deleted
and I can't find any version of it online and ofcourse the apt-get is no

Why not suggest a mirror which would be suitable for anyone, no matter

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main non-free contrib

  I tried the redirector a while ago, but one mirror kept returning 403,
  necessitating reruns of apt(itude).  So, I switched to specific
  mirrors after that.  I haven't revisited using the redirector since
  then.

Problem to apt-get dist-upgrade

 Is there anything I can do to fix this?

No.

 Or do I just have to wait
 until the packages I need are back to normal (that is installable).
 

Yes. There is a new revision of the C libraries available. It is not
compatible with [the existing compile state of] some of your current
packages, and some packages require it. If you want one of the new
packages, whether for installation or upgrade, the new libraries are
necessary, which in turn requires the removal of those packages which
won't work with it.

There is no way to satisfy the requirements, until the existing
incompatible packages are made to work with the new libraries. There's
probably only a small number directly involved, but the large web of
dependencies spreads the trouble to hundreds of packages.

If you have aptitude installed, and if you don't it's too late to
install the current version, you might try an aptitude full-upgrade.
This is equivalent to the apt-get dist-upgrade, but with better
dependency resolution. I don't think you will gain much, my aptitude
goes away and thinks for a while, and then gives up, something I've
never seen happen before. It offers to spend longer looking, but it
isn't going to find an answer.

I presume you are still doing an apt-get upgrade, which should deal
with most of the packages which aren't involved in the current mess. I'm
seeing aptitude safe-upgrade working for twenty to thirty packages a
day. You might, with very careful cherry-picking, manage another two or
three, which I was doing using Synaptic. I've given up now, as it's not
worth wading through over two hundred to find a couple which work.

There are several very big libary and compiler transitions going on at
the moment.

You can upgrade upgradable packages by using only apt upgrade instead
of dist-upgrade, but other than that you just have to wait.

No.

You have two options. First is to install a version of VMWare that
supports the (now just about standard) initscript headers. If there is
no such version, pester the upstream authors to update their
initscripts.

Second is to create an override, so that you add the headers manually.
That is, create a file /etc/insserv/overrides/FOO (where FOO is the name
of the initscipt being run. Note, not the symlink name. If K01vmware
points to /etc/init.d/vmware, then create
/etc/insserv/overrides/vmware). In that file, write your initscript
header (see http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts for details). You
should then be able to update your system.

Many thanks the second option has helped.
Vmware have been very slow to update to kernel3, so there are various patches 
around.

If it was the last option - then the cause of the apt database error may

But if checking with fsck (and SMART) doesn't show a failing hard drive
- then the database simply needs rebuilding.

No, apperently it works not properly, because I can NOT install ANYTHING with

You've pinned all your available repositories to a negative value.  APT 
refuses to install any package with a negative priority, which is why none of 
your packages have installation candidates.

Check /etc/apt/preferences and /etc/apt/preferences.d/*; you've got at least 
on stanza wrong in them.  (man 5 apt_preferences) for the available 
documentation.

If you can't fix them, try deleting them.  With as few repositories as you 
have, preferences won't matter too much, if at all.  They are mainly used for 
maintaining mixed systems.

Wow, I changed values in /etc/apt/preferences to 501 and voila:

I definitely NOT changed anything in the /etc/apt/preferences before!
(because I'm a noob and don't know about this file before ;) 

But thanks for your help!

Can anyone change status of this post to SOLVED ?!

Thx

Before trying to replace apt... how about trying a manual install of
scons and posting the output?

Does anyone knows where I can ask a specialist? Maybe in another mailinglist?
I do NOT want to install everthing manually with dpkg-command...
And I do NOT want to remove apt manually...

Had you temporarily used other repositories around that time?

No, /etc/apt/sources.list~ is empty.

The dependencies for scons are python... could it be that you have some
non-standard python on your system??
Occasionally I've had install problems because I'd forgotten that I'd
temporarily make python2.4 the system default... but surely that would
not be your problem(?)

Have you manually installed scons?
Did it throw up any errors?

No I did not try to install scons before.

I strongly suspect the problems is software based - when I've had
hardware based problems with apt there have been plenty of error messages...

I confirm your opinion, it should be a software based problem.
Let's go back to your first e-mail:

I think the problem is either corrupted database or dependency problems of 
apt-get.

Then an fsck failure shouldn't have occurred you can try running it
manually from single-mode on next reboot. Difficult for me to advise on
how without knowing your partitioning and filesystems - but man fsck is
your friend ;-p

 
 A hard drive monitoring system:-
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

 If your hard drive supports it, and it's enabled in your BIOS, then it
 can be useful to determine if your hdd is failing.

 NOTE: I don't propose that you need SMART to solve this problem, it's
 just another place I look for useful error messages when I'm trying to
 determine if a fault is hardware or software based.
 
 I'll check BIOS settings during next restart and report in the next message.
 I don't think it's an hardware problem, but maybe I'm wrong.
 
 P.S. I tried to install apt with the deb package manually, nothing has 
 changed, same problem.
 By now I think of something like
 
 apt-cache remove apt 
 dpkg -i apt_0.7.20.2+lenny2_i386.deb
 
 to solve the problem ... :D

Um, I've never tried to replace apt on a running machine, so I can't
advise. If I did I'd certainly use the -d switch first so that at least
I'd have a local copy of the .deb file/s.

Before trying to replace apt... how about trying a manual install of
scons and posting the output?

eg:-
wget -t 0
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/scons/scons_1.0.0-1_all.deb;
dpkg -i scons*all.deb


 
 How can I find out, when the last apt-get upgrade or apt-get install was 
 successful?

cat /var/log/dpkg.log | more

dpkg has various options that will give you subsets of the same log.

 package...


There's the clue.
If you can't remember what happened then (mixed repositories, aborted
install, bodgied compile etc) then maybe it's something you don't know
about
fsck lately?
Are you running SMART?
(I have no clues as to your hardware or setup, and whether it's relevant)
what does:-
apt-get -sf install
give?


 I can NOT install ANY package with apt-get, 
 but I CAN install any package manually with dpkg -i packagename.deb.
 I can NOT upgrade the system with apt-get upgrade.
 I have no non-Lenny perl on my system.
 
 If it helps: I can remove packages with apt-cache --purge remove packagename
 I can search packages with apt-cache search packagename.

Tells me apt is working - but doesn't rule out a corrupted database


 
 Please give me further hints/allusions to the source of the problem!

See above for a start on isolation testing

Ok, first of all: Thank you for helping me!

There's the clue.
If you can't remember what happened then (mixed repositories, aborted
install, bodgied compile etc) then maybe it's something you don't know
about

Yes, I can not remember what I did wrong last time I used Debian.
Maybe it is important to say, that I have 2 system running on my machine.
1. Debian (stable, for backups and open-source-software testing)
2. Windows (for gaming and reinstalling every year^^)
I did not use Debian for a while (several weeks/months), but now I need it
for my work.
This is why I do not remember what I changed on the system last time I used 
it...

In your last post you gave me the hint with perl and I checked it...
Maybe this is the source of the problem, because as I know apt uses perl 
somehow...?!

Had you temporarily used other repositories around that time?

The versions you quoted all match the ones on my system.

When I've previously damaged apt:- perl, package dependencies, and a
failing hdd were the causes.

The dependencies for scons are python... could it be that you have some
non-standard python on your system??
Occasionally I've had install problems because I'd forgotten that I'd
temporarily make python2.4 the system default... but surely that would
not be your problem(?)

work:/home/scott# dpkg -l |grep python2.5
ii  python2.52.5.2-15+lenny1
  An interactive high-level object-oriented language (version 2.
ii  python2.5-minimal2.5.2-15+lenny1
  A minimal subset of the Python language (version 2.5)

scott@work:~$ python -V
Python 2.5.2

Have you manually installed scons?
Did it throw up any errors?

I strongly suspect the problems is software based - when I've had
hardware based problems with apt there have been plenty of error messages...

If you have the minimal python requirements then, short of suggestions
from others, I'd propose that the cause may be a hardware failure.

 
 
 fsck lately?
 
 Don't know, maybe.. How can I find out?

It's Theodore Ts’o's handler for file system checks - usually runs
automagically every x number of boots. It'll show in dmesg if there's
been a problem.

 
 Are you running SMART?
 
 What is smart? I don't think that it is running.

A hard drive monitoring system:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

If your hard drive supports it, and it's enabled in your BIOS, then it
can be useful to determine if your hdd is failing.

NOTE: I don't propose that you need SMART to solve this problem, it's
just another place I look for useful error messages when I'm trying to
determine if a fault is hardware or software based.

problem with apt-get install AND apt-get upgrade

Hi @all,


Normally I can handle debian problems by my own, but this time I have a really 
unusual problem with apt-get.
I use german version of lenny on a 32 bit i386 architecture.
Internet connection works fine and public keys are up-to-date (see below).
I think the following lines will help you to understand my problem:

 Dear All=2C

 I am using Debian 5.0.5=2C on a x86 machine. The Network is through a DHCP =
 server. For connection to internet we have a Proxy server.
 I was using Debian 5.0.4 on it apt-get used to work fine=2C but since this =
 new installation of 5.0.5=2C there is some problem.

 Dear Liam=2C=20

 apt-get used to work before so I was not able to figure out there might be =
 a problem with the proxy.

Probably one of your configuration files was replaced during the
upgrade. The original will have been preserved with the extension
.dpkg-old.

 Thanks for pointing me out in the right direction.
 Solution:
 I just added this line to my /etc/bash.bashrc

 export http_proxy=3Dhttp://username:passw...@proxyserver.net:port/;

You might also add:

export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy

You never know when you might need it.


 Thanking you=2C

Dear Liam,

Probably one of your configuration files was replaced during the upgrade. The 
original will have been preserved with the extension
.dpkg-old.
I installed the OS again, did not upgrade it.
 
You might also add: 
export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy
 
Ok. 

But now there is a slight problem, when ever I use sudo apt-get update,
 it does not work. but if I become root first, using su, and then so the same 
thing, it works.
I tried closing all the terminals and opening them again, didn't work.
Here is the output, first in normal user and then as root.

Can you do a echo $http_proxy both as root and as user? I guess 
$http_proxy isn't set properly for your user (and sudo uses user-values 
for its config)

Dear All,

Have a interesting update and potentially the solution of the problem. I have 
another system running Debian 5.0.5
,same hard ware configuration.
It had the same problem, while reading about apt on Wikipedia, got to know 
about the command apt-config dump
and the file /etc/apt/apt.conf
I ran the command on the other system, and the proxy was entered incorrectly(I 
did not do that)
I checked out the file apt.conf on my other system, it had only one line,
Acquire::http::Proxy http://i...@ibab:3128;;
Hence I corrected it to, 
Acquire::http::Proxy http://ibab.ac.in:@proxy.ibab.ac.in:3128;;
and now every thing is fine.
But funnily enough, when tryiny to correct the same file on my own system,
There was no /etc/apt/apt.conf file.
Hence created that file and just put the above line in it.
apt-get is working fine now.

Wonder why there was no /etc/apt/apt.conf file present???

Thanks to everyone for the help,
Prakhar Gaur

If you are inexperienced in Linux, you had better not run Debian
unstable.  Do yourself a favor and stick to stable or testing instead.

The latest Intel video driver seems to have some serious problems, you
may want to check the bug list at [1], especially the newly filed
important bugs.

Det är /var/lib/dpkg/info/sun-java5-bin.postrm som är buggig.
Om du tar bort sun-java5.png på rad 36 i postrm-scriptet

Tjosan alla. Jag har ett litet problem med apt-get (dpkg). Jag har

Om det bara är denna bilden som den klagar på, kanske det går att
manuellt ta bort den och skapa en mapp på det stället? Dvs, lura
scriptet till att tro att den gör rätt ;-)

Ett alternativ till apt-get för borttagning av ett paket är 'dpkg -P'.

Problem with apt-get update command: failed to fetch packages 404 not found

[Steve Lam]

I have a problem with 'apt-get update' command and it
bugs me for weeks.  I've tried to update Debian with
the command 'apt-get update' and it failed to fetch
packages. I've fixed the etc/apt/sources.list file but
It doesn't help me at all.  I've tried apt-setup and
it failed as well with the same message such as
'Failed to fetch'.  Any help is appreciated.

Your sources.list, as posted, isn't formatted well.

How do you connect to the Internet? Dialup, DSL, cable?

Do you have a proxy or router in between you and the Internet?

Tell us what this command does?

The computer has connected to the router but it has a
static IP address.  The apt-get command has worked
fine before.

When I run 'apt-get update', it doesn't complain about
sources.list format problem.

Problem mit apt-get localeconf

[Peter Kuechler]

Hallo!

Auf einem meiner Rechner lässt sich localeconf nicht richtig istallieren
(tagesaktuelle SID). Ich würde den Fehler ja gerne suchen, aber ich
brauche mehr infos. So sieht das Ergebnis aus:

---
linux3:/export/imex# apt-get install localeconf
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
localeconf is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 311 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up localeconf (0.9.4.1) ...
dpkg: error processing localeconf (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
 localeconf
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
---

Ich sehe, das es am post-installation script hängt. Nur wo dort?
Wie komme ich an genauere Debugging Infos???

Ich habe das Paket schon ausgepackt und mir das Script angesehen, aber
daran sehe ich ja nicht wo und warum es aussteigt.

Wie gehe ich da am besten vor?

Das ausgefuehrte Skript liegt in /var/lib/dpkg/info (hat den Namen
paket.postinst) und wenn du da an den Anfang ein set -x schreibst
siehst du wo er aussteigt.

Hi Andreas,

erst mal sorry für die PM, sollte eigentlich in die Liste gehen
wie sich das gehört:-(

Die Antwort jetzt also hier:

  Danke für den Tip!
  Ich habe daran auch schon gedacht.
  Allerdings bringt es nichts, wenn man dann das Script per Hand startet.
 
 Richtig, du hast nicht die passenden Optionen.
 
  Kann es sein, das man dazu dann erst wieder das Paket packen muß und
  installieren um es zu testen?
 
 Nein, du musst nicht das im Paket enthaltene Skript aendern sondern das
 was schon ausgepackt in /var/lib/dpkg/info liegt. Danach einfach wieder
 apt-get install localeconf aufrufen und schauen was er so ausgibt.

Ich bin ein Dussel, ich habe deine Mail nicht richtig gelesen.
Ich habe da nachgesehen und auch alles gefunden, danke.

Inzwischen ist der Fehler allerdings weg, ich habe das ganze Geraffel
mit locales deinstalliert und wieder installiert, plötzlich geht es.

Leider hab ich jetzt ein anderes Problem:

Ein dpkg-reconfigure localeconf funktioniert zwar, es kommen also alle
Menus und Abfragen, aber es wird nichts geändert, die
Datei /etc/environment bleibt unverändert, eine Fehlermeldung kommt auch
nicht.

Mal sehen, ob ich das mit dem von dir genannten System finden kann.

Danke erstmal,

Ist natürlich auch Blödsinn, da stehen ja nur die Installationsscripts.
Ich glaube ich brauch Urlaub:-(

Wenn ich mich recht erinnere war das ein Sid-System? Da wurde das
geaendert, die Locale-Informationen werden in /etc/default/locale
abgelegt (gilt auch fuer Etch) und werden von den Programmen auch dort
erwartet.

Merkwürdig...

Bei mir steht in dieser Datei:

Ein 

dpkg-reconfigure localeconf

ändert daran absolut nichts. Wenn ich aber per Hand diesen Teil

### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf
# Do not edit within this region if you want your changes to be
preserved
# by debconf.  Instead, make changes before the ### BEGIN DEBCONF

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_CTYPE=C
LC_MESSAGES=C
### END DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf

in die /etc/environment eintrage, dann werden die locale auch
entsprechen gesetzt. Übrigens wird das in den Menus bei 
dpkg-reconfigure localeconf auch so beschrieben:

The /etc/environment and /etc/locale.gen files, which contain
configuration information for system environment and localization can be
handled automatically by debconf, or manually by you
[...]

Ich bin etwas ratlos, muß ich sagen

Ja.
Die Version ist 0.9.4.1.
Soll das verschwinden??

Ok...bezieht sich das auch auf den Eintrag LANG=de_DE.UTF-8?
Der Wird scheinbar von update-locale in /etc/default/locale geschrieben
und existiert somit doppelt. Scheinbar ist das aber die datei die zu
letzt gelesen wird und somit auch gilt.

Ich habe das jetzt mal versucht:

update-locale LC_COLLATE=C LC_CTYPE=C LC_MESSAGES=C

hat /etc/default/locale um die neuen Eintraege ergänzt und sie
funktionieren auch. Fragt sich nur, was mit /etc/environment ist bzw.
wird. Fällt die weg?

Schau nochmal genauer hin. Das ist die Version aus Sarge, in Etch gibts
kein localeconf mehr und Sid hat diesselbe Version. Also wuerde ich
annehmen, dass das Paket nicht mehr entwickelt wird.

Das bezieht sich auf alle Angaben bzgl. der Locale.

/e/environment wird nach wie vor benutzt um Umgebungsvariablen zu setzen
die fuer alle User gelten sollen und alle Shells. Lies mal die NEWS
Datei des Pakets locales, da wird das ganze erlaeutert.
