Just in case ©

There is something in /etc/apt/sources.list.d - plexmediaserver.list. But in this file everything is commented out.

#deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main
#deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main

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

Ok so I updated my sources list with the deb's you noted above (I commented out the others), then ran the apt-get update command, here is the output.

Your average download speed is listed as 4bytes/second -- I think your connection is just dropping out as you try to download the database.

Well that seems quite odd. I have pretty fast internet here. Could it be something else?

APT doesn't lie...

Maybe check your firewall settings or query your ISP?

For future reference: when posting terminal output please use code tags, like this:

Would it be possible to actually post your /etc/apt/sources.list as well as anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d?

I did read that.
I also read this:

k so I updated my sources list with the deb's you noted above (I commented out the others), then ran the apt-get update command, here is the output.

I am curious on the 404's

Thank you for the hint on posting code

As for the internet issue, what's strange is that everything else works just fine. For example streaming video. I think if I did a speed test everything would be good. So I don't think apt is lieing, but I don't understand why its moving so slow when reaching out to dl updates. I would think the problem maybe is with the machine that Debian is running on, but as we speak I'm streaming video from that Debian machine, so at least I think the problem isn't the internal network speed.

You mention the firewall, I'm wondering where in the firewall the block could be. My firewall is my ISP router, and I don't have anything set up to limit speed to the IP that the Debian machine is associated with. Could it be a port issue? Please excuse my ignorance with any of this.

Would it be possible to actually post your /etc/apt/sources.list as well as anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d?

Here is the sources.list

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


/etc/apt/sources.list.d is a directory, but I am assuming you mean the config document within /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Code: Select all


#deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main

Some routers had problems with ftp and Debian. I sort of remember they were Dlink models...

Those are known good URL addresses in the list I gave you. Something is causing a problem when you try and connect to them.

Here's the actual rsync folder in the debian repository. You should be able to open this address with a web browser and see the files in the directory: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rsync/

Here's a very handy command, courtesy of kmathern, that will display the active and inactive "channels" and which file they are in:

Code: Select all

p="-e^deb -e^.*#.*deb"; for i in $(grep -l $p /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*} 2>/dev/null); do echo $i; grep $p $i; echo; done

Or you may be out of space in your root partition, per the error messages.

This is most likely your problem -

[FeedMeAStrayCat]

OK so I ran apt-get autoclean and apt-get clean. Even after running those two commands I am still getting an error when attempting to dl rsync
