moin moin Mark,
Thanks for the idea. I took the easy way out - I commented out the line in
That's essentially the same thing :).
I do like how yum has --disable-repo, which simplifies the whole thing.
The price debian pays for having more reliable repos :).
ciao,

the file for this repository and then ran apt-get update and it worked with
no errors. When I hear back from simplex solutions that they have fixed
their repository, I will un-comment the line.
Thanks!
Mark

moin moin Mark,
if the simplexsolutions repo is in its own file, then you can ignore it
for updates. Admittedly, this is one of the few things that's actually
easier with yum.
Here's what I use to get only security updates. You can certainly do
something similar to exclude one file rather than including just one file.
sudo apt -o Dir::Etc::sourceparts=:: -o
Dir::Etc::SourceList=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/security.list
dist-upgrade

I am getting this error when I try to apt-get update

I emailed the support folks at simplexsolutionsinc.com (the provider of
my
VPN) to see if they can fix the errors at their end.
I assume I could uninstall the VPN from simplex solutions and remove the
ppa from apt, do the upgrade and install the software I need, and then
reinstall the VPN.
Is there another way for me to move forward and do an upgrade and some
installs without removing the VPN software?
Thanks!
Mark
