You were right about apt not having a mirror. In the chroot /etc/apt/sources.list was empty. So I added a mirror: (this is in the chroot) erebus:/# cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/debian/ testing main contrib non-free erebus:/# apt-get update Err http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu testing Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving 'debian.cites.uiuc.edu' Failed to fetch http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/debian/dists/testing/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving 'debian.cites.uiuc.edu' Reading package lists... Done W: Couldn't stat source package list http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu testing/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/debian.cites.uiuc.edu_pub_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu testing/contrib Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/debian.cites.uiuc.edu_pub_debian_dists_testing_contrib_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu testing/non-free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/debian.cites.uiuc.edu_pub_debian_dists_testing_non-free_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Moreover, trying to ping any site doesn't seem to work. Also, I can access http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/debian outside the chroot. Aethon
