404 error when updating packages [SOLVED]
Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 4:18 pm
Hello,
I have a strange error with the update manager and the package manager these days. Whenever I update my package list with synaptic I get the following error message:
Impossible de récupérer http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/ ... 6/Packages 404 Not Found
Impossible de récupérer http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/ ... 6/Packages 404 Not Found
Le téléchargement de quelques fichiers d'index a échoué, ils ont été ignorés, ou les anciens ont été utilisés à la place.
(basically a 404 error meaning the program could not reach the cited urls).
Not surprisingly, other errors come along:
- I get an error saying I should repair broken packages before I update any apt related package.
- Many packages (if not all) can no longer be authenticated, so I refrain from updating them either.
For the background, I run LMDE, and my sources.list reads:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free
I usually prefer to use Synaptic to manage my packages.
I browsed through the forum and asked my friend Google but could not find documentation on this issue. Does someone know how I could repair that ? I considered checking if my sources.list is identical to the one from a newly installed distribution, but I could not find that on the LMDE website, and besides it does not seem very wise to "just replace the sources.list" as I would fear version inconsistencies.
Thank you very much for your help !
