I had just done a minimal (command line only) install of Stretch from
the first DVD of the complete set rather than using netinst to conserve
bandwidth. The install as usual was successful.



I wish to install a package from the repository - it's not on DVD1.
I added the line
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
to sources.list while commenting out the line referencing CDROM.



I attempted to run "apt-get update".
It *FAILED*
The message was the source I wanted was being ignored.



WHY?

  Mirror problems in .us.???


No. A typo in the following "apt-get install ..." line ;/




Do you get also get failure if you s/apt-get/apt/g ?

OK, I mis-remembered which line had "Ign". Here is redo:

Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates InRelease
Ign:2 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease
Hit:3 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch Release

So I redid the apt-get install which got me problem chasing,
(apt-get install xorg lightdm lvwm) whose captured output was:

Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...


That was followed by an uncaptured line saying:
E: Unable to locate package lvwm


lvwm doesn't exist.

"ign" means there have been no changes in the file - so it won't
be downloaded again. Nothing to worry about.

It could be due to archive signature being incorrect or something. You
can *force*-override this with [ trusted=yes ] in the "deb" line, as in;

deb [ trusted=yes ] http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
non-free contrib

But it is strongly recommended against using this arbitrarily. (I use
it for home-grown local archives only)
