Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  tor: Depends: libevent1 (>= 1.1a) but 1.0b-1.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

This is the error it gives me when i launch apt.
The same sources.list it is on the other machine where a tor server is ... strange !

looks like you might have an incorrect line in your sources.list

the correct url for the Tor distributions is:

http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor <dist> main

so in your case it should read:

http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor sarge main

once you have that fixed you can
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tor

hope this help

Code:

deb     http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor sarge main
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor sarge main

That's my /etc/apt/sources.list i can't see differences !
My post above doesn't show the /etc/apt/sources.list but its execution afther an apt-get update,do you notice that double hit ... ignored ?
Maybe that is the problem . I don't think it happens to you too,isn'it ?Or maybe if you read the error message afther the apt-get install tor it looks like if it was a problem of mixing stable and testing or unstable or syd sourceslists , when where i got the sources tor font from says it is a stable font ..... haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!

o.k. in that case.. did you add the necessary key to your apt keychain?

also if you are on a PPC, Aplha, or Mips machine you need to use a different repository.

instructions for adding the key and the location of the other repositories are here:

http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheO...er/TorOnDebian

the instructions for the key being about half way down and the PPC, etc repositories are just below the key info.

Hope this helps

Well ... ! I'm giving up !What about the keys ?Do you really think it is the cause ?

it also looks like you have a dependancy problem going on:

Quote:

tor: Depends: libevent1 (>= 1.1a) but 1.0b-1.1 is to be installed

you'll need to check into what version ov libevent1 you have installed and will probably need to find a package for version 1.1a or above. Once that is in Tor will probably install (unless there are other dependancy problems).

If you continue to have problems the people on the or-talk mailing list are quite helpful and might be able to get you up and running.

Hope this helps,
