[SID - Unstable] [resolved][SID ] apt and aptitude find error in repo??

[este.el.paz]

Folks:

I ran an apt update via sudo and it found or did not find a repo line . . . then running apt dist-upgrade it showed the roughly 102 package upgrades in green color font and listed in columns ??? Had not seen anything like that, so caution over valor I aborted and went to this forum. Seeing some **similar** topics I saw the recommend for using aptitude . . . so I ran the commands that way . . . . Still "not finding" some of the repos, but the dist-upgrade shows in the normal font color and lined up next to each other as is the usual way . . . .

Only T-Bird was missing a dependency, not big deal, it provided a question on installing that package . . . . So, question being, is this a temporary problem with the "security" debian package and best to try another day . . . OR, no big deal, run it through via aptitude and be happy??

Code: Select all

$ sudo aptitude update

There is no debian-security or unstable-updates repository for Unstable.

This is all you need in sources.list for Unstable:

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

I comment out the source repository, you can uncomment it if you like.

Thanks for the quick reply . . . so, I don't recall seeing these errors on the repos before . . . or that all that is needed in mr Sid is one comprehensive line . . . ??

My sources list has looked like this, I get that I can comment out the src lines, but then I'd have to pick what the top line and match it to yours?

Code: Select all

$ sudo cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[sudo] password: 


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

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security unstable-security main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security unstable-security main contrib

# bullseye-updates, to get updates before a point release is made;
# see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_updates_and_backports
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable-updates main contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable-updates main contrib

[edit] Matched your line and ran it as apt . . . no errors, just showing the packages in green font and in columns . . . full speed ahead. [/edit]
