Hi people,

I have an question ( probably easy for some of you )
in /etc/apt/source.list I have

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb ftp://ftp.hr.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb-src ftp://ftp.hr.debian.org/debian/ etch main

uname -a is
Linux pirana 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 26 17:17:36 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
cat /etc/debian_version
4.0
but when I do apt-get update I got this

apt-get update

Reading package lists... Done


why there is ignore line, I think my source list is ok, why it is ignoring these sources.

Thank you in advance

It is checking to see if the packages file has been updated if not updated then it ignores it as there is nothing new to get. You should not really expect to see a lot of activity in the way of updating when using the Stable (Etch) or older supported realease (Sarge) when updating the packages only change when there is a security update that has been uploaded.

Thank you very much, it was confusing for me what is reason for behaviour like that, I suspected on validity of my source list.\
Thank you again
