hi, you need to update the packages list before doing an upgrade, have you run

Code:

aptitude update

first?

esfahan2000 · 06-25-2012, 12:56 PM

yes i always use update before upgrade

Maybe your situation is the reverse of the person from this post

esfahan2000 · 06-25-2012, 11:13 PM

EDDY1 · 06-25-2012, 11:32 PM

Maybe you should post your /etc/apt/sources.list & let someone check it out.

this is the result:

the sources look fine...and, as you might know, google doesn't help much, there are threads with similar issues but no solution.
I am afraid we have to consider the option of some problem with the hard disk and/or corrupted system...I would suggest to try booting from a live cd and run

Code:

fsck /dev/sda

(or sdX according to your HD naming) or

Code:

fsck -f /dev/sda

to force a full scan.

there is the Debian Live Project but I think you could do a check disk from any distro's live cd like *buntu or some Debian-based one like #!...

If using non-free you should add to the other 4 repos also.
Then aptitude update
