Re: Reinstalling Packages after Rebuilding System with Etch

Then it was time to upgrade another which is a little
more important and it has almost gone okay except for the
following:

Well, that's not exactly a full update so I tried it
again several times with the same results. It makes me wonder if
my sources.list file is good. Here it is:

#deb file:///cdrom/ etch main

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US etch/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main contrib non-free

It is the non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US etch/non-US main contrib non-free

line that appears to be giving trouble.

When I get it working, can I just re-run apt-get update
and then apt-get dist-upgrade to finish the job?

Thanks.

Martin McCormick


Non-us repository went away since sarge or etch, IIRC. Remove it from your
sources.list.
