Hi, 

Just to make sure:  would the following list be OK for hamm updates?

deb http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian dists/stable-updates/
deb http://nonus.debian.org/debian stable non-US

Thanks,

I use "deb ftp://llug.sep.bnl.gov/pub/debian hamm main contrib non-free".

"http" does not seem to work with llug.sep.bnl.gov:

No 

deb http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian dists/stable-updates/

Is correct.

Logically, yes. Ask the apt developers why dists/stable-updates/ works
consistently and the other doesn't. :)

For whatever reason, no.  That is the only way I could get it to work
for me.

My apologies... I was wrong... ".../debian dists/stable-updates/" works :)

Hi,

This doesn't seem to work for me. This is my /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Debian/dists/ stable-updates/
deb ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Debian stable main contrib
non-us

First, "apt-get update" is indeed fetching the Packages files from all
of
the sources specified in sources.list. Since this is okay, I think
there's
nothing wrong with sources.list.

Second, "apt-get upgrade" comes up with a number of packages selected
for
an upgrade. This looks fine too.

But when "apt-get upgrade" is fetching "cfingerd" (the first package)
I get an error. If you look in stable-updates, you'll find that there
are many versions of cfingerd: .diff.gz, .dsc, _i386.changes, _i386.deb,
_m68k.changes and _m68k.deb.

My guess: apt-get doesn't "know" it should only get the _i386.deb, and
therefore halts when it is trying to get the .diff.gz.

So my question remains: is it possible at all to use the stable-updates
directory for an automatic upgrade?

Thanks for your time,

Ruud Janssen.

apt & dists/stable-upgrades

Short question:

Is it possible to point apt to dists/stable-upgrades
to update the system with the latest bugfix releases
of all installed packages?

Thanks,
