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

Maybe check your firewall settings or query your ISP?

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

It makes it much more readable ;)
Thank you for the hint on posting code :wink:

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.

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

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.

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

You can check how full your filesystem is after you've cleared the APT cache and removed any orphans by running:

Code: Select all

df -h
EDIT: Ninja'd...

Visit http://speedof.me/ and check your download speed, then run `apt-get update` and check the download speed given by APT.

If APT is getting much slower download speeds I think you have to ask your ISP or check your router settings for anything to do with it's firewall.

OK so the problem persists. I cleared the cache but I'm still stuck.

Going back to a prior post from DilbertsLeftNut, /var/ is indeed full. So it looks like I need to expand /var, the problem is I don't know how to do this saftley.

Of course there are lots of articles out there but I'm not sure what to follow.

Post the output requested by @sunrat plz.

Rather than just expand /var you should instead try to find out why it is full otherwise you will soon run into the same problem.

How big is /var now?

I've recently run `aptitude clean` on my Debian box & /var occupies ~0.5GiB; on my Arch box I haven't cleared the cache in a while and it's still only ~1.5GiB

Did you try to measure your download speeds as I suggested?

You claim you have a fast connection but APT says 4B/s -- that would certainly explain the "404" messages.

du -sh /var/*
too.
and so forth. Perhaps grep for M or G, to only get the big ones.
Then delete what can be deleted. *tar.gz in /var/log for sure. Round the lines of
find /var/log -name '*tar.gz* | xargs rm
(not sure, and there are find arguments to do it more smart. Don't copy and paste).

For what it's worth:
gentoo-laptop log # du -sh /var
703M /var
crap knows what you got there. 2.8 Gigs sound like a lot.

So why is APT only reporting 4bytes a second if your browser is getting almost 4MiB a second?

Are you sure you ran `apt-get clean`?

So you need to look at /var/lib and find out what is filling up your partition.

I really don't have a clue why APT is so slow but it seems likely that the 404's are due to your signal dropping out.

At your own risk you could have a look at something like apt-fast -- this manages APT downloads from multiple sources, a bit like a torrent download:
http://xmodulo.com/speed-slow-apt-get-i ... buntu.html
However, it looks to be designed for Ubuntu -- make sure you do not use the PPA method to install it.

I am shooting in the dark. I would try:
deborphan
and or
deborphan --guess-all
then
deborphan | xargs apt-get remove --purge -y

aptitude purge ~c

apt-get autoremove

After that i would check /var/lib again (my main hope is aptitude purge ~c)
Doing ls -ahl /var/lib/* too, and so forth, until you found it, won't hurt.
Again: I never ran into something like this. It seems weird, as if you would have done something ... well: odd. Hence none of that is a "solution". It is a proposal to go on with troubleshooting, the problem lays somewhere else ("someone" has done something)

Take care with deborphan and mainly deborphan --guess all. It might remove stuff you don't want removed (you can install it again, but still).

-
I think i would reinstall the OS, btw. This looks like a mess. If you got the time and consider it fun, then go on.
