I just upgraded my jessie system yesterday, besides having trouble with apt moaning about https is not a valid transport and asking if apt-transport-https was installed (which it wasn't). I couldn't install it because apt then complained about jessie not being a default release, WTF! That may have been caused by this line: deb http://repo.tox.im/deb/ testing main in the file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/toxrepo.list which I've commented out, but only after I ... # cp /usr/lib/apt/methods/http /usr/lib/apt/methods/https then apt-get update worked! \o/ (That's when I also got complaints about the 'http://repo.tox.im/deb/' repo.) I then 'rm /usr/lib/apt/methods/https' followed by 'apt-get install apt-transport-https' (I also commented out 'APT::Default-Release "jessie";' in the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90local I *think* before the apt-get update) Then I apt-get upgrade, which took a while, BUT after all that my gpm console mouse was no longer working BUT a simple '/etc/init.d/gpm' stop followed by '/etc/init.d/gpm start' got it going again. PHEW!! I searched the web looking for any stuff regarding apt-transport-https needing to be installed, nothing recently, and no posts on debian-user, so whether anyone who struck it just did what I did or whether it was the http://repo.tox.im/deb/ repo casuing it,I don't know. Don't know whether to post this to debian-user, or just carry on as thought nothing has happened. <whistle innocently> :) I initially thought changes had been made to the apt behaviour which caused all this, but seeing nothing on the web or on debian-user made me doubt that was the case. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X _______________________________________________ D-community-offtopic mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
