Re: What's Wrong with this Mirror?

Earlier problems with official debian multimedia packages were that they
didn't produce any sound when the unofficial packages worked as expected.

Hi Cindy: Sometime a Debian Multimedia has packages such as mpv which may not

Just thinking out loud here: If it's something that you don't mind
sharing publicly, what package or packages does that repository have
that someone might know of an alternative somewhere else?

It's been a long time since I've used anything outside of Debian and
non-free web browsers, but I do still remember that once in a while
rare, really cool packages are only available on third party
repositories.

oh yes, that reminds me, you probably already know that apt-key is
deprecated, perhaps the mirror is still using that

Did you download and install the multimedia gpg key, if not that's
probably the cause of this error.

Well, thank you Jordan: I am actually either hoping some1 will fix that mirror 
or suggest a Debian Multimedia mirror which is current-and-working. Thanks 
again.

I would suggest just using deb.debian.org as its recommended by the
installer, as long as you have no other external repos installed you can
take the sources.list file from your installation media, assuming your
desktop file manager supports mounting squashfs filesystems, then all you
need to do after mounting is go into the mounted drive and go to /etc/apt
and copy the default sources.list file, provided your installation media
was for sid

What's Wrong with this Mirror?

2022-10-24 Thread Chime Hart
Hi All: As I run daily updates, I am noticing an error connecting to this 
mirror.

http://mirror.optus.net/deb-multimedia/dists/unstable/InRelease
Even just trying it in LYNX just hangs. Can some1 please suggest an adequate 
replacement for my sources list? This is Debian SID. Thanks so much in advance.
