params for debian sources.list
Hello,
Let me tell you at first that i am newbie to linux and Debian environment. I currently have Debian v3.1 Sarge edition running on my system which i installed yesterday only. I recently modified my /ect/apt/sources.list file to get faster uploads and i dont get any errors but i am not sure if the settings are good enough for the system to get updated regularly with stable updates?? My current sources.list looks the following way: Code:
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main For the above sources when i run apt-get update and apt-get -u upgrade i get following output: Code:
latitude:~# apt-get update |
Sorry but i got another problem. Now when i am trying to install MySQL using apt-get i get following errors:
Code:
latitude:~# apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 mysql-client-5.0 libmysqlclient15-dev Code:
latitude:~# apt-get install libdbi-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl Code:
latitude:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list |

You could also find where the relevant packages are located on the "official" mirrors eg in testing or unstable and then change your sources list so that it reflects that branch i.e. replace stable with testing or unstable then do an apt-get update and then an apt-get install of the packages and then reset the sources list back to stable and do another update to restore your settings. A comment on your sources.list; You have remarked the line; deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib Un-remark the line because this gets your security updates which is fundamental to the base security of your system. i.e. when a vulnerability is found in software the updated packages are released via this route. |
Try this as well.
Code:
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free |
For Sarge all you really need is:
############## ### STABLE ### ############## #Stable Sarge deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free #Stable Sarge Sources deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free #Security Updates Stable deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free However if there are apps you can't find you need to add other repos. Get rid of the non-us it was obsolete when Sarge became stable. For a very complete sources.list take a look at my signature. Just change the country code to reflect the closest mirror to you. |
