Re: Re: Squeeze. apt-get update failed to fetch .../binary-i386/Packages.gz
I note you say you have not had any other comment. I get the same error. I still get the standard red gear wheel on the application bar, updates are downloaded and installed without problem and the programme reports my system is up to date but I still get an orange triangle with an exclamation mark in the centre and it reports the 'fetch failed' message. I had assumed that 'lint' in the file was the cause. My problem is that I am comparatively new to Debian though I have used Mandrake and Mandriva for years. I don't know which file I need to look at and clear out the lint. I don't suppose it matters much but I don't like things on my screen which I don't understand, can't use and can't get rid of. Debian appears to be the only distro which still offers a list of suported hardware, that's why I changed. Mandrake won't print to my Brother HL 2040,they no longer offer help unless you sign up for a monthly fee and the help I got elsewhere didn't work. I must say I like Debian.

When I read your message I was going to comment upon some of your /etc/apt/sources.list entries.

Does the 'http://ftp.us.debian.org squeeze/contrib i386 Packages/DiffIndex' and 'http://http.us.debian.org squeeze/contrib i386 Packages/DiffIndex' are contain the same packages for update? 'Ftp' is accessed normally, so should I continue with an update? Or, it is necessary to wait until # apt-get update will return no errors at all? Maybe this is just a bug? In addition, as I am monitoring 'Debian User Mailing list', nobody else has reported that problem in Squeeze. -- Sincerely Yours' Mark Goldshtein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
