Sources List

I have a debian installation but all I get when I try to apt-get install or update is:

I'm thinking that it may be that I have the wrong addresses in my source list, can anyone give me a good list to use???

Which version of Debian are you using, Etch?

 

[Nefarious]

kernel 2.4.27-2-386

Debian version 3.1

 

[Nefarious]

Anyone????

IS this any help: http://www.geocities.com/reverendsky/sourceslist.txt

It's a guy's sources.list from what appears to be a Sarge installation like you've got. I reckon that the only part really needed is

#############
## Sarge ####
#############
#Stable Sarge
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
#Stable Sarge Sources
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
#Security Updates Sarge/Stable
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free

So... I'll tried a few more permutations of sourcelist and Debian in google and found that

deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

seemed to meet most of my needs, hope someone else finds this useful

 

[Nefarious]

Has anyone else been having trouble with their sources?

I sorted it yesterday and then found I had to change them again today, is there some sort of global server problem for debian repository hosts at the moment...?

The Blueyonder mirror server got a name change and is now debian.virginmedia.com.

Aha! Many thanks... have now changed
