[SOLVED] apt-get update cannot connect to deb-multimedia sources

theAdmiral · 10-31-2015, 05:26 PM

I am running Debian 8.2 and my multimedia sources are:

#Multimedia
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ jessie main non-free
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ jessie-backports main

I am getting several errors on these when I try to apt-get update, like this:

Code:

Err http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie InRelease

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

and then the output ends and I come back to the prompt.

Is anybody else out there getting these today? I am trying to figure out if this is only a temporary problem, because deb-multimedia website is not online, or if there is some other problem and I can get just as good multimedia results if I have different entries.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Thanks for the reply.

Just checked on Debian User Forums and somebody reported the repo there as being offline on 10/31/2015. Guess I will give it a few days/weeks before further troubleshooting.

Alright, just gave a few short days and apt-get update is functioning normally.
