using apt-get -f, still not getting what I need

JockVSJock · 08-03-2005, 12:22 PM

I have a Knoppix box. Using apt-get as the package manager. I was only grabbing the stable packages, because I am using this as a server/storage, but I believe in the long run, this was a mistake.

The reason for this is that now when I try to update and upgrade packages, I get the standard error that some packages can't be updated or upgraded...please use apt-get -f update and apt-get -f upgrade to get around this.

Can anyone offer insight on how to fix this or get around this?

thanks

What does your sources.list look like?

What apps are you trying to upgrade?

Usually you see that happen when a dependency is in unstable /testing. Try using a testing and /or unstable repository when you do the upgrade and see what happens.

Do you have any recommendations that you could post?

you have to give us the entire exact apt error message
the solutions to these things are never general and usually not logical but are rather specific to the situation

Why?

And, where can I get a list of local United State sources to replace the foreign ones?

thanks again

Here is the output for apt-get -f update and apt-get -f upgrade

The non-us repositories were moved into main when Sarge became stable.

It looks more like you have mirrors that are no longer working. Hence the 404 errors.

And unless you really really need a package from unstable or Experimental I wouldn't recommend doing a apt-get upgrade. Sid is really unstable at present.

Change your sources.list then run apt-get update. I would recommend using aptitude for upgrading. You can either open it or in a terminal type aptitude upgrade.

Where do I get a list of US sources for my sources file?

EDIT: I ran apt-spy and copied the contents into my soureces.list under /etc/apt. I think that should do the trick.

thanks
