Done 255 nik:/# This was on a debian lenny amd64 vserver system. When i switched /etc/apt/sources.list to use ftp.us.debian.org (instead of ftp.debian,org), it looks like these silent errors went away. Failing silently like this (without giving a clearer indication what the admin might want to look into to fix) is potentially a real problem. Is that "Ign" supposed to clue me in that i should be doing something different? If so, what? Thanks for aptitude! It's an amazing system. --dkg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUBSKsLzczS7ZTSFznpAQJULxAAjfAZAUTbQGpwca59aiNpidXBmbW8XCC5 PrU+BW475YyiVNU6rstlWJt32mJg4VyQGBKw4kPMfRvVDCirLpF9yHAQr87WWc2X GKort+D+Ka3Lzj8QUfp0NlAY4YO/nrRzDyER8hoIpFWX8E8kT0kiPt6oa1A0n63n BZdCsAEM3XjX/jJuyBN9i7H+AnZGciDDwW46xXpVTcZlMlahORdKy0xgHG+f5WlF 8YWmApQ5yOFhngO+UmKuoXGlpInYKBkqnnnMDFqtdR3WdssIeNnKefBa/Yj+3Ece GS3+x9HYvswI8j53+A28mxFYEA0Ih+sEcjE9qvx8n51eagmAQi7ZZrApO/DFnjkt uxntfR4cGwmAiqeew6fWpo3lKHKfslGkTGCyKX7R8eQbCkdGCbqG80+T3zE1AwbD 988Bck0DhHJRms9wbon/AHMV07DUzzcHz4hnkZRQnRIcgddUQ6TxS57qfUzDAMxs UykIRFdYTjDulDfCMsSkQM3sxKRKN56Unr4IK2adZawH56ODOySZ3LwW+4Xv9473 9Ylg57YbERrPlPoDyhiIhwm0KSt48YMPI5m1C9bMAPJ6ijzXQiCO89/KWxQAyVRw cWcRI795A21lp6xemojqQ46psNFYtALJF2R9u98NVvK7iroUW8DTDgpiuMlwC1TF HIKL6pDW3r8= =vaKc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
