This is the result of everybody having typed slightly different commands on their machines prior to the state described by the docs. For example there are at least docs which mention how to "install" unstable: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable#How_do_I_install_Sid.3F https://wiki.debian.org/InstallFAQ#Q._How_do_I_install_.22unstable.22_.28.22sid.22.29.3F The latter says (the former does not mention which commands one is supposed to type): "then again change your /etc/apt/sources.list file to unstable and again do an update and a dist-upgrade" This is incorrect for my https://atlas.hashicorp.com/deb/boxes/jessie-amd64 VM: $ sudo sed -i 's/testing/unstable/g' /etc/apt/sources.list $ sudo apt-get update > /dev/null W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable-updates/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 78.129.164.123 80] W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable-updates/contrib/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 78.129.164.123 80] W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable-updates/non-free/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 78.129.164.123 80] W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 78.129.164.123 80] W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable-updates/contrib/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 78.129.164.123 80] W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable-updates/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 78.129.164.123 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/unstable/updates/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 195.20.242.89 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/unstable/updates/contrib/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 195.20.242.89 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/unstable/updates/non-free/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 195.20.242.89 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/unstable/updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 195.20.242.89 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/unstable/updates/contrib/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 195.20.242.89 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/unstable/updates/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 195.20.242.89 80] E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I understand that this is due to Debian unstable not providing certain repository paths. Having a reproducible environment in Vagranfile/Dockerfile will help to improve the documentation, because the commands inside of Vagranfile/Dockerfile are the documentation. > > > > i've clarified also with GPAW upstream that the latest GPAW release, > > > > 0.11.0, is not ready for python3 yet (e.g. it does not work in > parallel > > > > with python3). > > > > > > :-( > > > > > what will happen then to gpaw packaging? > > In any case I consider it sensible to package the latest version. > I could imagine that we could add some text to README.source about > the current upstream work regarding Python 3. > can we proceed with gpaw-0.10.0, otherwise if we go for gpaw-0.11.0 one needs to get python-ase-3.9.1 into Debian first. It's now more than 2 months after my initial gpaw's ITP https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=782543 gpaw-0.11.0 is not ready for python3 so it probably does not matter if we package 0.10.0 first?
