Debian Sources List

[GhostDawg]

Well I been using my Mini Mac for awhile and haven't used my tower system. Now I just hooked up the tower and decided to update Debian Sid.

I assume since the new Sarge has been released, parts of my sources list is not working. Here is the one's not working.

Err http://non-us.debian.org sid/non-US/main Packages
404 Not Found
Ign http://non-us.debian.org sid/non-US/main Release
Err http://non-us.debian.org sid/non-US/contrib Packages
404 Not Found
Ign http://non-us.debian.org sid/non-US/contrib Release

404 Not Found
Ign http://non-us.debian.org sid/non-US/main Release
Err http://non-us.debian.org sid/non-US/contrib Sources


Does anybody know how I can fix these?

Thnx.

I did an "apt-setup" to fix that.

Thanks Radar. I'm still getting the same errors, which seems to be from the non-us sites.

I wonder why is that? Do I really need the non-us sites?

[Outlaw]

This is mine:

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

Maybe that's why I no longer get errors. My sources.list is incomplete. Oh well

[GhostDawg]

How do you upgrade it? Are you using Sid?

[Outlaw]

I just stay on the testing branch. (on my file server) My laptop is unstable branch.

The mirrors

Looks like the sources.list is complete based on what I see in each branch.

Maybe only include those but replace with sid or unstable.

On the Sarge release there was an error in teh shiped sources.list, you just need to change the unstable lines in your sources.list.
These are the ones I use:

# Stable - non-US
deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian-non-US/ sarge/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian-non-US/ sarge/non-US main non-free contrib

[GhostDawg]

Are you using sarge with Sid for non-us?

Ok, I got most of my sources list working. I just stop using the non-us lines. Someone else said it is not being used anymore.

Now when I run apt-get upgrade, after apt-get update, I get this error message on udev.

Any suggestions on fixing this?

Thnx.

[GhostDawg]

Since Sarge has been released and it's been around 2 months, maybe I could try doing a apt-get dist-upgrade. I only done the apt-get upgrade at this point.

Do you think this could solve the udev problem?

Thnx.
