Just another shot in the dark...
Unless you have a very specific reason for the way it is, I would consider rethinking the partitioning scheme where /var is concerned.

Your disk is full. Check with "df -h" (post here if needed). Fix that and then start again. You might have a corrupted package database though (dpkg is not known for its reliability).

Edit: this is what happens when you leave a tab open for a long time. Sorry for redundant reply.

He posted the output of dh -h already here:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... 30#p565427
it revealed that /var/lib is filling /var (well, the further investigation via du -sh), and that is what we were discussing before your post.

To All,

I want to thank everyone so much for their effort for helping me to solve this issue! Turns out as best I can tell /var/lib/plexmediaserver was taking up a butt load of space, 1.1 Gb to be exact.

For those unfamilar with Plex, it's a media server software. Basically what appeared to be happening is Plex was placing all info (metadata, logs etc.) into /var/lib/plexmediaserver. So after a bit of research I found that you can set where Plex places this information in the config file /etc/default/plexmediaserver. I changed the location to a directory in one of my logical volumes and restarted the service. I then rm -r the old directory /var/lib/plexmediaserver.

After this I ran apt-get install rsync and received some promising info,

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install rsync
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  rsync
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 369 kB of archives.
After this operation, 653 kB of additional disk space will be used.
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  rsync
Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
Now the question is, what is this message about authentication about?

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`?

What is the output of:

Code: Select all

ls /var/cache/apt/archives/
I notice in your sig you have a lot of links to the wiki. I have tried reading the Debian reference document and at times it's quite dry, but quite thorough. I am wondering if the wiki is a bit more adjusted to someone who is very new to linux? Thoughts?

regarding the message from apt:
you probably miss the keyring.
Do apt-cache search keyring
perhaps apt-cache search keyring --names-only
and dpkg -l | grep keyring
You probably miss debian-keyring, or a similar name. Install it, ignore the warning, run apt-get update again and when installing rsync the error warning should be gone.

regarding documentation: i would read what i got problems with, no matter if wiki, reference, manpage. In general i prefer to ask in a forum or IRC channel, usually someone there knows a) what is the solution or b) where to find the according documentation online.
You might try the Ubuntu wiki (for someone rather new to linux). If i got a quick question, i usually use it (i go to the German one, which is good for my purpose, hence i don't know the English one well). For most, but not all subjects, of course.

I find the Debian Reference to be one of the finest pieces of documentation I have ever come accross -- the trick is to read the parts that are applicable to your problem rather than trying to plough through it all in one sitting.

It is definately worth the effort.

For your authentication problem: you need to add the current secure key to APT -- guide here:
