[SOLVED]Not getting any updates from Synapic Package Manager

[mythsic]

Hello. I've upgraded to Debian 10 some time ago and I've realised I'm not getting any software updates (at all) from Synaptic Package Manager.
AT first I thought this was a repository problem so I modified sources.list file following this as an example.

https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList#Exa ... urces.list

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main

So my sources.list file looks like this

Code: Select all

# buster-updates, previously known as 'volatile'

# Debian Jessie
deb https://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free


deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free

# deb-src https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main

However, not only am I not getting any updates at all, but also I get this duplicate error:

Code: Select all

Please help me out! It's driving me crazy and I'm not an expert! Thank you

I think it may be because you're trying to use https, instead of http. On my Jessie system Synaptic wasn't even capable of using an https repo until I added a package. I was trying to add a repo that used it, for a package that was specifically recommended to me here, that's not in the Debian repositories.

You don't need the commented Jessie line in your sources list for any reason.... Jessie was Debian 8!

I'm not an expert

No but you can still read, right?

Code: Select all

No system certificates available. Try installing ca-certificates.

So perhaps try installing ca-certificates?

Alright, I tried this

I tried running "apt-get update" like it says here but to no avail. --fix-missing isn't a recognized command.

Hey! Yeah sorry, anyways I tried what you said but it's still the same

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Yes indeed, that was a somewhat predictable result

Download the .deb package from here and run this command as root from whichever directory contains the .deb file:

Code: Select all

# apt install ./ca-certificates_20190110_all.deb

--fix-missing isn't a recognized command.

That's not a command, it an option for the apt (or apt-get) command.

[mythsic]

Upon running "sudo apt install ./ca-certificates_20190110_all.deb" I get

Code: Select all

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ca-certificates-java : Depends: ca-certificates (>= 20121114) but it is not installed
 liblwp-protocol-https-perl : Depends: ca-certificates but it is not installed
 libwww-perl : Depends: ca-certificates but it is not installed
 python3-certifi : Depends: ca-certificates but it is not installed
 python3-httplib2 : Depends: ca-certificates but it is not installed
 python3-requests : Depends: ca-certificates but it is not installed
 software-properties-common : Depends: ca-certificates but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

When I look up any of the aforementioned packages on Synaptic they are installed, the only exception being "ca-certificates". When I try to install it I get:

Download the .deb package from here and run this command as root from whichever directory contains the .deb file:

Code: Select all

# apt install ./ca-certificates_20190110_all.deb

Any idea why he's missing it?

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies

Hmm, perhaps apt(8) is trying to be too clever. Try

Code: Select all

# dpkg -i ca-certificates_20190110_all.deb

If that doesn't work then lets see what's hiding in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sources.list:

Code: Select all

apt policy

Any idea why he's missing it?

I suspect PEBKAC

And how do you know the OP identifies as male?

[mythsic]

I got

Code: Select all

However when I run Synaptic update I still get:

And yes I am a male

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Code: Select all

The repository 'https://httpredir.debian.org/debian buster Release' no longer has a Release file.

The httpredir service has been replaced with deb.debian.org so let's get rid of that line and the superfluous sources.list file:

Code: Select all

# sed -i '/httpredir/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
# rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sources.list

[mythsic]

Ok, Now Im not getting any Errors at all, but updates still don't show up

[Head_on_a_Stick]

What does this say

Code: Select all

# apt update
apt list --upgradable

[mythsic]

apt update:

and apt list --upgradable

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Looks good to me. Debian stable doesn't get updates very often (hence the name).

The OP wasn't the one doing the identifying.

Ohhh alright. Thank you!
