Hi everybody!
I'm new on the forum and then I would like to ask for a help.
I installed Mint 13 Maya / Mate 64 bit several months ago and till now I haven't had problems with update.
From several days i see the "well known" problems "404 Not found" on several items:
http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/dists/ ... 4/Packages
http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/dists/ ... 4/Packages
http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/dists/ ... 4/Packages
http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/dists/ ... 6/Packages
http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/dists/ ... 6/Packages
http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/dists/ ... 6/Packages
Prior to ask, I waited some days and I also tried with mirrors, googling on web but without success...
I looked in the forum but I didn't find anything, so... I'm the only one with this problem?
Has anyone suggestion about?
Thanks!!!

Re: packages not available on repos?
That website appears to not work right now. I'm assuming you selected this as your mirror? You can pick a different mirror, or reset to use the primary server again. If you want help with that, please share the output of the following command:
Code: Select all
inxi -r
Re: packages not available on repos?
Hi Vincent and thank You very much for Your prompt reply !
As I said in my post, I tried to pick up other mirrorsand, of course, to reset to primary server.
However, this is the output of the command You suggested:
As You can see, the problem is related only to packages on http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/ ...

Re: packages not available on repos?
Okay, you can go back to the primary server by changing this line:
into:
For this you need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file as root. You can do so with:
It even has nice colour coding Change the packages.linuxmint-fr.net to packages.linuxmint.com as shown, and save and close the file (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X). Then run:
and hopefully the update will now go without errors.
Code: Select all
deb http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/ maya main upstream import
Code: Select all
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import
Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
Re: (SOLVED) packages not available on repos?
Thank You very much Vincent, now it's ok
I marked as solved but, just for my knowledge...
I didn't change anything on source list since installation and I didn't find anything on web from other users... so, what was wrong?
How I could be able to "be aware" of that change by myself?

Re: (SOLVED) packages not available on repos?
I'm not sure how it would get in there, but when it gives such errors as a repository not found I usually just try the URL in my browser. If it doesn't work there, I remove the last part of the path and try again. Repeat. (Like http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/dists/ ... 4/Packages doesn't work, so try http://packages.linuxmint-fr.net/dists/ ... nary-amd64, and so on.) Most of the time it is either you have somehow gotten a wrong release name (the maya part in the URL), or for example if you are using a PPA it might be that it doesn't have a repository for your release, or it might be that the server is down.
Re: (SOLVED) packages not available on repos?
Thanks once again Vincent, it seems a simple but nice hints, I'll keep in mind for the future...
...even if it wouln't solve the problem in this specific , unless the "cut and try" goes in the website name.
However, as I said, thanks a lot, if I'll have this problem I check for repository site !
