[SOLVED] Which http: to remove from sources list

Ztcoracat · 09-26-2012, 02:43 AM

Hi:

I'm getting 3rd party updates and I'm not sure which 'http:' address in my sources list it's coming from.

I was advised before to not use and do not install these 3rd party updates. I take the heed but don't know which address to comment out-

The new ones that I'm listing have been sitting in my Update Mgr. for a few days now; 'libnss3 Network Security Service libraries' and 'libnss3-ld Network Security Service libraries; transitional package'
The Update Mgr. explains that they are updates for software and that I should consider installing them-

Here's my source list:

Code:

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20120512-14:34]/ squeeze contrib main


deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze contrib main
#deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze contrib main

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-proposed-updates contrib non-free main

deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main contrib non-free

deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release

What would be the best approach to ending these updates as I don't know where they are coming from?

Thanks in advance

The only problem I see is that these 2 appear to be the same with the exception of missing non-free on the first 1, it still may throw an error of dupicate. Maybe someone else will comment on it

Edit your sources.list as follows to remove the unofficial rep and duplicate:

Code:

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20120512-14:34]/ squeeze contrib main

#deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze contrib main ##### you can get rid of these
#deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze contrib main # two lines altogether

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free

#deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-proposed-updates contrib non-free main

deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main contrib non-free

deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release

Then post the output of

Code:

$ ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

deb-multimedia should probably be kept as it gives you some of the codecs that you otherwise can't get in Debian.

yep I am with EDDY1 just remove the first two lines. No reason to remove deb-multimedia.org it works and is perfectly safe.

my list on sid:

Code:

$ inxi -r
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
           deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
           deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
           deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
           deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ sid main non-free
           deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
           deb http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian/ sid main

I got rid of the first two lines that were exactly the same.

Code:

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20120512-14:34]/ squeeze contrib main


deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

Have you ran

Quote:

aptitude update

Ztcoracat · 09-27-2012, 04:04 AM

No, I have not ran aptitude update. A few hours ago I did run:

Code:

apt-get update &
apt-get upgrade

EDDY1 · 09-27-2012, 04:06 AM

command is similar, how did it work?

Ztcoracat · 09-27-2012, 04:28 AM

The update & the upgrade went well.
When the terminal was done (upgrading my packages) and finished running; my Update Manager closed and the orange icon is no longer there
alerting me to updates.

Everything is running good-
