That was my brain's interpretation, too... with the further thought
process that NEXT TIME... those of us who follow Debian-Publicity and
similar could help out by forwarding the most important of those
updates over here to Debian-User

I believe the interpretation of Greg's statement in which you, Bob, are
the target occurred only to you, Bob, and that the remark was intended
solely to incriminate the authorities.

So you can rest easy (until Greg contradicts me).

Those last two lines are not needed, and are what is probably
causing the errors in your update.

There is no more jessie-updates repository.  Just remove that line.

foo-updates is a repository that exists only while a stable release is
still supported and receiving point-release updates (like 8.3, 8.4, 8.5).
The foo-updates repository is a place where the updates that are GOING to
be in the next point release are available before the formal point release
happens.

Since jessie will never receive another point-release update, there is
no reason to have a jessie-updates repository.

So, the repository was removed, nuked, wiped out, obliterated, you have
no chance to survive make your time.

This could have been communicated or handled a bit more smoothly.

Actually, it's not synaptic that's doing that, but the executable

The problem is from synaptic creating /etc/apt/trusted.gpg with too
narrow permissions, a file which is no longer used by apt (instead all
keys are in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d)

You can just delete /etc/apt/trusted.gpg or change the permissions to
644 (instead of 600 now).

Right.  The Lenny volatile repository was renamed for Squeeze.  In
Squeeze it is squeeze-updates.  (Confusingly because squeeze-updates
is the volatile repository and squeeze/updates is the security
repository.)

On Sunday 26 October 2008, L.V.Gandhi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote 
about 'apt-get update error':
*deb http://live.debian.net/debian/ etch main
*to */etc/apt/sources.list.

Based on what I saw that http://live.debian.net/debian , they are not using 
the pooled layout with distribution subdirectories.  Instead, they are 
using the flat layout.  So, the line should be:
deb http://live.debian.net  /debian/
or
deb http://live.debian.net/debian   /

(I think.)  The relevant section of sources.list(5) is:
   The format for a sources.list entry using the deb and deb-src types
   are:

   deb uri distribution [component1] [component2] [...]

   The URI for the deb type must specify the base of the Debian
   distribution, from which APT will find the information it needs.
   distribution can specify an exact path, in which case the components
   must be omitted and distribution must end with a slash (/). This is
   useful for when only a particular sub-section of the archive denoted 
by
   the URI is of interest. If distribution does not specify an exact 
path,
   at least one component must be present.

 signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:

 How do I fix this?

You don't need to fix this because it is not strictly an error (even
though it looks like it was one).

I think a better wording for this message would be:

Warning:

 The integrity of the archive at http://ftp.us.debian.org could not be
 verified because its Release file is signed with a key unknown to apt.
 This means that you cannot be sure that this archive has not been
 manipulated by a third party which you do not trust.

 If you insist, you may still install packages from this archive, but
 apt will warn you each time you do this.

 If you do not really understand what all this is about, please read
 http://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt or chapter 7.4 of the Securing
 Debian manual.

 If you have imported this archive's signing key recently, running
 'apt-get update' again should suffice to make this message go away.

Create a file /etc/apt/apt.conf as root and insert the following:

APT::Cache-Limit 25165824;

Note: don't forget the ';' at the end.

After creating this file, rerun apt-get update and hopefully things should now 
work.

also you might just edit the lines in sources.list from stable to 
testing or unstable and comment out the security line with a # mark.

One thing to keep in mind youre gonna be mixing up your version with 
stable, testing and unstable and there is a reason they are seperated :-)

Ack! I did mess up already! Something went wrong and the testing version
of libncurses5 failed to install leaving the woody version removed. Now I
am not even able to login, I get some error like:
-bash: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by
/lib/libncurses.so.5)
when I login. Nor are most of the commands able to execute.

Thank God, I'm logged on with root as well as a user on 4 different
terminals including and one running my MUA! I had to use links browser to
open these mails for some reason still and none of the text browsers
would run, thank God again that I somewhere had compiled links static!
That's how I'm writing now

Well, what am I to do now? apt-get is also giving some errors about not
able to run /usr/bin/apt-listchanges ... failure running that script.

glibc is already installed I can see.

I better wouldn't have done this mess if I would have used somebackport
version of what I needed :/

Please help!

Regards,
Deboo

 Thanks I'll look there, I searched my local archives for the past two 
 weeks, I found it mentioned, but no solutions offered that worked. I'll try 
 my luck in the official archive.

Here's a hint: add this to your apt.conf APT::Cache-Limit=16777216 :-)

the archives, since I can't remember the exact line you have to add to
your /etc/apt/apt.conf.

And these archives are found where? The search function at the Debian site isn't

Det är det gott om faktiskt; 512RAM och 1 GB swap flera GB hårddisk oxå.
Vad som verkar konstigt å andra sidan är något med själva / partitionen 
som är ext2, t.ex. visar inte KDiskFree den som monterad.

Jag har kört fsck från Knoppix CD och den fixade en del fel.
Själva systemet är installerat från en Knoppix cd skiva till en HP 
Omnibook 6000 med 20GB hårddisk delat på en W2k på NTFS, en vfat 
partition, swap och /. Lilo i MBR.
I /var/lib/apt/lists ligger det över 40MB material. Själva sources.list 
filen innehåller drygt 30 aktiva rader (källor), var ligger gränsen för 
 hur mycket sources.list klarar?

På ett annat system har jag omkring 33 rader aktiva och det går hur bra

inte något.

 Reading Package Lists... Error!
 E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room

Precis det här felet har jag också haft. Som någon nämnde är det bara att öka på
cachestorleken. Jag har en fil 10mmap i /etc/apt.conf.d/ som innehåller:

APT::Cache-Limit 12582912;

dvs 12MB. Det räcker för mig, med marillat.fr, lite småkrafs och tre speglar på 
huvudträdet,
var och en med alla stable/testing/unstable. Min /var/lib/apt/lists är på 62M..

Oh, jag glömde nämna att jag känner igen det där också. Då trodde jag att det 
hade med
en mystisk HD-krash att göra, men nu inser jag att det säkert hade med just det 
här
mmap-problemet att göra.

Tack för alla svar hittills!

Nu har jag lärt mig att man kan lägga till det här i /etc/apt/apt.conf:
APT::Cache-Limits xxx;
där xxx skall vara antal bytes. Men det spelar ingen roll hur mycket 
jag lägger till där, det fungerar inte ändå. Men error meddelandet är nu:

--
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing pcmcia-modules-2.2.18pre21 (NewPackage)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
--
det har altså flyttats från /var/lib/apt/lists/ till /var/lib/dpkg/status

Observera följande:
--
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ df
Filesystem   1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda4  3591528   2163712   1427816  61% /mnt/winstore

-  7061696   2110608   4592368  32% /
--
df borde ju visa / primärt eller hur men den visar bara min vfat 
partition hda4?
Även när jag slår 'df /dev/hda6' visar den inte var/eller att den är 
faktiskt Mounted!
Inte förrän jag gör 'df /' visar den att / är Mounted, men inget under 
Filesystem!


Och kolla här:
--
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/mtab
none /proc proc rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hda4 /mnt/winstore vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
--
alltså är det ju inte någon / med där?

Det måste ju vara detta som gör att jag får de där error meddelandena 
från apt-get update, den får på något sätt fel- eller inga- meddelanden 
om huruvida det finns plats på disken eller inte?

Kan någon förklara vad det är som händer här och hur man kan fixa det hela?
