When any apt-get exercise, I am getting the following:#
Code:
bobsbox:/home/bob# apt-cache policy kernel-image-$(uname -r)
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://secure-testing.debian.net etch/security-updates/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/secure-testing.debian.net_deb...curity-updates_dists_etch_security-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

Looks like the sources.list is garbled, corrupt, or whatever...
If I just delete all entries, is it automatically setup again by Synaptic or will I have to manually re-enter all the repositories?
Thank you, I will do that. I was trying check the kernel with
apt-cache policy kernel-image-$(uname -r)
and I get the error that the kernel image could not be found. Where is it in Debian? The /usr/src directory is empty. Surely I have the kernel image somewhere (I am running it now). I need several programs to be able to find this, particularly the nVidia installer.
The kernel image may be named "linux-image-$(uname -r)"
slackhack: Try:
Code:
deb http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing testing/security-updates main contrib non-free
that's hanging too, though it's listing a different IP -- it makes me think something might be misconfiguired or even compromised. but i really don't mean to hijack this thread, i'm going to post the new info in the other thead, thanks.
