I have a system which has the following in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free
It works fine. However, am I correct to assume that the "contrib" and "non-free" directories are superfluous in this case and can or ought to be removed? I mount and chroot to another disk. When I do # aptitude update from the chroot prompt, things go well except for the security packages. I get the can't stat error even though the line in that disk's sources.list is exactly the same. A complicating factor is that the disk to which I chroot has a 2.6.8-2-686 kernel, while the booted system has a 2.4.27-2-386 kernel. Is this difference relevant? -- Haines Brown KB1GRM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
