Do not reply to an existing mail, but send a new mail. 2) Do *not* CC individual people, only mail the list! See the Debian mailing list code of conduct [1]. 3) Preferably do not use top posting when you reply to a mail [2]. 4) Don't ask vague questions: they cannot be answered. * kernel 2.6 version from yesterday - what version exactly? - what debian release are you running (stable, testing, unstable)? - is it a security update or a regular package version? * none of the mirrors are working - that is *extremely* unlikely - which mirrors did you actually try? * what exact commands did you use? * what exact errors did you get? Make sure any output you include is in English! Can someone help me on same? No sorry, I cannot help you because I really don't have a clue what your actual problem is. I understand that asking a question in a different language than your own can be difficult, but please spend some extra time to make your problem clear to the people you ask for help. Try to avoid wasting *their* time! And the most likely result is that you don't get an answer at all.
