Re: Question about APT
Am 08. Aug, 2017 schwätzte Mark Phillips so: moin moin Mark, Thanks for the idea. I took the easy way out - I commented out the line in That's essentially the same thing :). I do like how yum has --disable-repo, which simplifies the whole thing. The price debian pays for having more reliable repos :). ciao, der.hans the file for this repository and then ran apt-get update and it worked with no errors.

Re: Question about APT
Yeah maybe you're right. There is no stretch dist either, so maybe wheezy is the last version they will support over apt (if it works at all) On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 7:25 PM, Mark Phillips wrote: > Brien, > > Thanks for checking that out.

Re: Question about APT
Brien, Thanks for checking that out. I will play around with the KeepSolid repos after they get back to me. I think they may not use repos anymore, as these instructions ( https://www.vpnunlimitedapp.com/en/info/manuals/linux) just have people download the .deb and install it when there is an update. Very strange. Thanks!
