Re: Update Manager Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated
Question: Is there an error in the instructions on the Debian Packages page
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd6 ... y/download ?
***
As per the instructions on the above download page I altered my /etc/apt/sources.list to include the line ''deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main"; checking for accuracy, I saw that ~/sources.list was correctly updated.
Having done so, and returning to my desktop, I noticed that the Update Manager was flagging that updates were available, or 'to be done'. Starting the Update Manager I saw that its process ended with the following error:
ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR
E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
Looking at the Information Manager's "Information" box I found:
++ Launching mintUpdate in root mode
++ Starting refresh
++ Auto-refresh timer is going to sleep for 15 minutes, 0 hours and 0 days
-- Error in checkAPT.py, could not refresh the list of packages
++ Starting refresh
-- Error in checkAPT.py, could not refresh the list of packages
Removing the line in my /etc/apt/sources.list that I had just added I found my Update Manager status had returned to "... up to date".
Browsing to http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian I found that there was no "~/jessie/main", but that there was a "~/dist/jessie/main".
I am not inclined to try the update again without more knowledge so I ask, does anyone here see a possible error in the Debian download instructions?
