Problem with apt-get

[Bergin]

Hi,

when trying 'apt-get update' I get the following output:

----------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------

When I try to browse ftp.se.debian.org there are not any file with the path "http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/binary-powerpc/Packages.gz". Instead there are now .../lenny/... instead of .../etch/... Is it okey to update /etc/apt/sources.list or can that operation damage my system in any way?

It's OK to change sources.list.

I try to install nfs-kernal-server but no luck.

Maybe due to apt-get proble you describe.

I get:

bubba:/home/christer# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

run

Code: Select all

apt-get update

to download new package lists after you have changed your sources list.

nfs-kernel-server should be available then.

Hi,

Ok, I tried to enable the one found under /etc/apt/sources.list but I get a lot of errors.

I only enable "deb" not "dec-src" if I remember correct that is source if you want to compile yourself.

Guess the sources are not correct, but were can I find the one to use?

My sourcelist looks like below.

# BUBBA|TWO apt sources.list
#
# Changes in this file might break your system
#
# vim: ft=debsources
