[SOLVED] LMDE 201303 RC problem with repo

Post by gandalf »

Hi all.
I have successfully installed LMDE 201303 RC and I am satisfied.
For about three days, however, I have trouble reaching some repos for updates.

Carry under a result of apt-get and the contents of the sources.list file:

try in a terminal

Code: Select all

mint-choose-debian-mirror
pick a different mirror (even if the speed is lower) and update again

The problem occurs with all mirror , it seems that the following sections are no longer present

.../updates/main/bynary-i386/Packages
.../updates/contrib/bynary-i386/Packages
.../updates/non-free/bynary-i386/Packages

it is possible that they are doing maintenance on the main repos and then all the replicas have the same problem?

Solved!
I do not know how, but my sources.list file was incorrect.
To understand exactly what to put in it I mounted the ISO of LMDE and I opened the file, at which point I corrected my file as below:

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free
To do this correction I used gedit:

Code: Select all

sudo gedit / etc / apt / sources.list
It seems to work now, in the hope of not having done a foolish thing.
My pc is a 32 bit

This suggestion easily corrected the problem on the machine here. Thanks!

Noticed that using the 'Select Best Server' tool within Synaptic rewrote the sources.list file back to problem servers:

deb http://lmde-mirror-fr-1.wedrop.it/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://lmde-mirror-fr-1.wedrop.it/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://lmde-mirror-fr-1.wedrop.it/latest/multimedia testing main non-free

Re-set the servers from the command line (see prior post) and all is well.

I had the same problem and I do remember playing with Synaptic some time ago to see what it looks like (I don't normally use it) so this explains the change in my sources.list, I guess.

Anyway, the problem was solved with the mint-choose-debian-mirror tool. Very handy.
