Unable to dl rsync package.

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

I am having an issue using apt-get install to grab rsync.

Here's my output,

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package rsync

As you can see from my sources list I have tried throwing quite a few sources at it, but still nothing. I have also tried apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

What am I screwing up?

It is definitely there:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/rsync

If you have run `apt-get upgrade` with those sources (especially squeeze), you may have borked your system...

Put your sources.list back to stock, run these commands and post the output of the last 2 commands:

Code: Select all

# apt-get update
aptitude search rsync
aptitude -s full-upgrade

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

Thanks for the reply, will run this when I get home today.

When you say bring your sources list back to stock do you mean these three dep's?

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Yes, that looks fine to me.

[stevepusser]

How about if you run

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy rsync

The output should be something like (except you don't have it installed)

Code: Select all

rsync:
  Installed: 3.0.9-4
  Candidate: 3.0.9-4
  Version table:
 *** 3.0.9-4 0
        800 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


If you don't see it as available, do you see any errors when running

Code: Select all

su -c 'apt-get update'

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

It is definitely there:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/rsync

If you have run `apt-get upgrade` with those sources (especially squeeze), you may have borked your system...

Put your sources.list back to stock, run these commands and post the output of the last 2 commands:

Code: Select all

# apt-get update
aptitude search rsync
aptitude -s full-upgrade

Output of the first command,

aptitude search rsync
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/shell.ninthgate.se_packages_debian_dists_squeeze_main_binary-amd64_Packages)
W: You may want to update the package lists to correct these missing files

These seems very strange to me since I updated the the sources list with the three deps. Not sure where this duplicate sources list is coming from?

And the second command,

aptitude -s full-upgrade
The following packages will be upgraded:
plexmediaserver
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 120 MB of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.

How about if you run

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy rsync

The output should be something like (except you don't have it installed)

Code: Select all

rsync:
  Installed: 3.0.9-4

  Version table:
 *** 3.0.9-4 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


If you don't see it as available, do you see any errors when running

Code: Select all

su -c 'apt-get update'

Here is the output from the command,

apt-cache policy rsync
N: Unable to locate package rsync

And the other command, I am being asked to input a pw for the user.

su -c 'apt-get update'
Password:
su: Authentication failure

[Head_on_a_Stick]

You probably have extra sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ -- delete these as well.

When you ran the `apt-get update` command, did you get any error messages?

Did you run that command with root privileges?

Code: Select all

su -c 'apt-get update'

Run it again (as above) after you have purged all the extra sources from your system.

When you use `su -c` you need to give the root password (not the password you login with) -- this would have been set by yourself during the installation process.

[schnuller]

As a rule of thumb you will want to put as many entries in your sources.list as you can find.
Mainly if you are a beginner.

@OP: Just ignore @scnuller, that's his idea of a joke.

Please read the bottom link in my signature if you are in any doubts.

Here is the output of the command, I ran the command with sudo because I never created a root user so to speak. After I ran the command with sudo I got this.

Execute the following and post the results

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
apt-cache search rsync
sudo apt-get -s -f dist-upgrade

I ran the command with sudo because I never created a root user so to speak.

How did you install debian? Usual debian installer asks for root password.

[stevepusser]

I believe it is related to that http://debian.net site. I don't think it's doing what it's supposed to, which is to find your fastest mirror.

Let's assume your software sources are in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, the most common location. You will have to launch a text editor with sudo and change the http://debian.net parts of the addresses so they appear like this:

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main

These three lines should be enough to get started with Debian. The contrib and non-free sections can be added to the end of each of the lines if you need anything from them, such as Adobe Flash, as in

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

For now, comment out any other line in that file with a # at the start of the line, save, and

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Post the output of:

Code: Select all

ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Just in case ©

How did you install debian? Usual debian installer asks for root password.

I'm pretty sure you can create sudo during installation (probably have to say "No" when it comes to the root password, or something like that, say leave the pw blank. Was rather intuitive, as far it's me, but i can't remember the details).

Ok ran the following commands here is the output. As for sudo, when you install you are given the option to leave the root pw blank. So there isn't a root pw.
