[SOLVED] [SID] Is it safe to upgrade?

#1 Post by Wheelerof4te »

I know that Sid is not encouraged for general usage, but I wonder if it's safe to upgrade in this case. This is purely informative, the hashes don't match for non-free repo. Here is an error message:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
E: Failed to fetch store:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/deb.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_non-free_dep11_Components-amd64.yml.xz  Hash Sum mismatch
   Hashes of expected file:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
More info: It seems that all my software is up-to-date:

Code: Select all

apt full-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I just want to know what this means? From the looks of it, non-free repo isn't yet updated with the right info.

Hi,
At a cursory glance, maybe fixing-apt-hash-sum-mismatch-consistent-apt-repositories will help?
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.
