Just for the record, in case anyone reads this:
I filed a bug report for apt about this issue
( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827365 ),
however it showed that a new feature in apt stops apt from accepting the
kind of hhtp(s) redirects sourceforge now uses. This at least explains
the initially odd observation that the sf repo still works with outdated
versions of apt.
So it looks like (at least for now) it is simply not possible to use
debian repositories hosted on sourceforge.
I added a note about this to the ticket at 
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/12143/ , so they hopefully
will know what to do if they care to fix this.
For now obviously the best choice seems to move one's repos to a
different hosting service.

Ok, looks like it's a bug in Jessie's apt version. I just tried with
testing, no luck either, but a differennt error: this time apt-get gives
me a 404 and claims the ../binary-amd64/Packages file is not found,
although when I browse the repo with firefox I can see that it's clearly
there. Seems like since the time when Jessie was still in testing stage
(that's what my dated LMDE is) they broke apt-get's https support :(

apt-get update fails with sourceforge repo

[Michael Lange]

Hi,

I just encountered an odd problem with a repo hosted on sourceforge, when
calling apt-get update with this repo enabled in the sources.list I ended
with a 301 error. Apparently this happens because sourceforge dropped its
http service and now uses https exclusively. It took me a while to find
that I had to install apt-transport-https to enable https support for
apt-get and change the respective entry in sources.list from http:// to
https:// , still it does not work however. Now on apt-get update I get the
following error message:

Protocol "http" not supported or disabled in libcurl

This is obviously the same problem as described here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/12143/

Oddly enough, with an old laptop that still runs a completely dated
version of LMDE (no more updates for the last two years or so) after
installing apt-transport-https and fixing the sources.list line it
worked, but so far no luck with my up-to-date Jessie :(

Does anyone have an idea if there's something I can do about this?

TIA and best regards

Michael

 Do you have any other apt config settings such as for a proxy server
 that would get in the middle?  Look in /etc/apt/apt.conf and
 /etc/apt/apt.conf/d/* for any files that set proxy servers.  Check
 your environment for any proxy settings env | grep -i proxy.
 Just a guess...


Good guess, Bob. There was indeed a proxy set (from my previous VPS
host), which I removed, and all now seems fine.

Thanks very much.

 That was the problem: we had previously been using the approx proxy
 server, and there was an Acquire::http::proxy set in
 /etc/apt/apt.conf.d.   During the upgrade to wheezy, approx was held
 back for some reason and wasn't functioning, so I switched back to
 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/, but the file was preventing it
 from working.
 
 Commenting out the proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf fixed the
 problem.  (Then I was able to upgrade approx and switch back to
 using the proxy, which is for a cluster setup, as before.)

This is too late to help you.  Glad to read that you have fixed your
problem.  But for the archive and others who search later let me add
this hint.  You can dump your current APT config settings and look for
any proxy settings.  For example:

  $ apt-config dump | grep -i proxy
  Acquire::http::Proxy http://192.168.230.109:3142;;

I am sure that if you saw that or similarly other settings that it
would have led you to the problem quickly.

apt-get update fails after wheezy update

[Steven G. Johnson]

A few days ago I did an apt-get update  apt-get dist-upgrade on our 
amd64 Debian system to update it to wheezy.  Things went mostly okay 
(although it got stuck once on a php update and I had to kill and 
restart apt-get).   However, ever since then apt-get update has failed.


I am not behind a firewall.  The only uncommented line in my 
/etc/apt/sources.list is:


 deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free

Running apt-get update yields the Connection failed errors listed 
below.  I've also run apt-get update -o Debug::Acquire::http=true to 
get more verbose output, which I've put at 
http://jdj.mit.edu/~stevenj/apt-get-update.out in case it is helpful. 
Running e.g wget 
http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/dists/stable/main/i18n/Translation-en.bz2; 
works fine, so it is not a network problem.


Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Re: apt-get update fails with MMap out of room

[Jørgen Hermanrud Fjeld]

How about addung the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Cache-limit 16777216;

Sincerely 
JHF

apt-get update fails with Dynamic MMap ran out of room

[Rupa Schomaker]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-


I run a mix of sid/sarge/woody/+KDE3.  I recently did a apt-get
update and got the following error:

E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing gnome-applets (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Has anyone else run into this problem and resolved it?  If not, I'll
go ahead an open a bug report...

Re: apt-get update fails with Dynamic MMap ran out of room

[Brian P. Flaherty]

A quick google search shows that you need to increase the Cache-limit
in /etc/apt/apt.conf.  I just had to increase mine a couple days ago.
Here's my apt.conf:

bs:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT
{
  Default-Release stable;
  Cache-Limit 14194304;
};

DSelect
{
  Clean prompt;   // always|auto|prompt|never
};

Suggest you check the mail archives.  Many have had the problem and
there have been solutions suggested.  One of which was to limit the
number of different entries in your sources.list.  That has fixed it
twice for me.  Pretty soon I will have a blank sources.list tho.

Is this a garbage collection problem?

 Hi all,

 I am experiencing some problems with apt-get update.
 What happens is that it can't fetch the Packages file from the debian
 security site.

 This is the error I get :

 Failed to fetch
 http://security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/main/binary-i386/Package
 s  404 Not Found

The latest update seemed to me to be rather large.
The apt-get update completed but the following apt-get upgrade
failed with some errors including a 404 or two.

The suggestion was to apt-get update - don't do that after a 
successful update, it causes the entire upgrade to download again.

It took 3 apt-get upgrade to get the entire list of packages down
and then complete the upgrade.

HTH
Bob

In my case, it all downloaded right off, but with such a large group
of apps and libraries, you need 3 or even 4 rounds of upgrade to
complete configuration and installation.
