Hi
after installing a minimal potato system , I wanted to make an update with
"apt-get update" and got the following error (this output is after a secopnd
try):

Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Releas
Wouldn't it make sense to change the installation process to use woody
instead of testing ?
The last installation CDs I tested selected apt servers with testing and
not woody as distribution.

Hello,
it isn't exactly what you want, but you can install apt-proxy, which
uses rsync to get the archives from the "backend" (=debian mirrors) and
then apt-get update from your local apt-proxy source - look at the

Hi guys,
Running apt out of dselect by default. Recently my machines one after the
other seem to refuse to really update the apt cache; they contact the
server, get all the HITs, but no more GETs for the package files.
Consequently there never is anything to update these days. Is that right?
Look
Yesterday I had a happy machine...
I upggaded to testing, and built the 2.4.2 kernel using kernel-package.
Now apt-get update is broken :-(
I have to run it using runsocks, but I am begining to think that has nothig
to do with the problem I am having. I can use runsocks with ftp and lynx
and
ly don't care about these).
I also think it would be nice if you could tell why a package wants
to be upgraded...

Howdy,
how can I check which packages are new after doing a "apt-get update"?
I don't want to upgrade all packages I just want to know whether a
certain number of packages can be upgraded. I don't want to run dselect
either since this will starting selecting lots of stuf

Well, you'd set up your testing workstation(s) with a regular
sources.list, pointing to the regular Debian repositories. 'apt-get
update && apt-get dist-upgrade' them manually, and check for problems.

Hi,
I'm in the process of making Debian the "suppored" GNU/Linux distro on
my network, part of that involves changing default confiles.
In this context I've been kicking around the idea of running
apt-get update > /dev/null && apt-get -qq -y upgrade
from /etc/cron
