#166743 — Repository Problem

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I just had a catastrophic crash which necessitated reinstalling Debian.  
I had been running v-7.2,but decided to upgrade to v-7.10 with a 
complete install.

Now when I update the repositories, regardless of the tool, Synaptic or 
Aptitude, I get the following errors:

W: Failed to fetch 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/main/source/Sources: 
404  Not Found [IP: 2610:148:1f10:3::89 80]

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old 
ones used instead.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache

I do not get these errors if I comment out the deb-src lines in the 
sources.list.

Now, I know that it has to be a problem with the new install as I have 
installed v-7.10 in a VMware Workstation 12 Player on my laptop as a 
test bed and do not get any errors.

I would greatly appreciate help resolving this issue,.

Thanks in  advance.

There is no such line in sources.list.  I have attained the file,

Hi,

You can try to replace in /etc/apt/sources.list or using Synaptic
changing distribution in Settings/Repositories

wheezy/updates 
by 
wheezy

Remember, you can see in a browser that the following URL
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/main/source/Sources
doesn't exists.  

Once you had done the change execute
apt-get update 
or 
press Reload in Synaptic

Good luck
Regards

In /etc/apt/sources.list, substiute ftp.us.debian.org for all
occurences of http.us.debian.org That's the way the installer
set it up on my Wheezy 7.10.

I've been hunting around for a distro to use and am  basing a lot of my
decision on 
the typical traffic of each distro's users' mail list.  So far I'm
getting the impression 
that Debian users & I would see eye-to-eye about a lot of things...

Anyway...If you don't mind me asking, what sort of catastrophe was this?

Those are IPv6 addresses. I would guess that you don't have an
IPv6 connection available to you, or it's misconfigured.

in /etc/gai.conf, uncomment this line

#precedence ::ffff:0:0/96  100

And your system will prefer IPv4 addressing.

He then would get a timeout or host unreachable and not a 404 HTTP error
code. 

What it looks like is this: he has URLs for the sources of security
updates (wheezy/updates) configured for the wrong host, because
debian.gtisc.gatech.edu does not carry those.

debian.gtisc.gatech.edu??? None of the information in the OPs query 
mentions this host.  All of his sources.list lines are using 
http://http.us.debian.org.  The issue is that 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates does not exist.  A 
casual look with a browser reveals this.

Here is the lines that should be in the sources.list file

deb-src 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/main/source/Sources
deb-src 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/contrib/source/Sources
deb-src 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/non-free/source/Sources

The OP has mistakenly .../wheezy/updates/... instead of 
/wheezy-updates/... in his deb-src lines

2610:148:1f10:3::89 -> debian.gtisc.gatech.edu

Because it's an easy way for you to have seen that the URLs you defined
for
Debian to use must have been wrong.  Didn't someone further up this
thread
point out a very subtle difference between the URLs you were using and
the
ones you should have been using?  I have a feeling you didn't get the
subtlety.

OTOH if those wrong URLs were installed by Debian itself, I agree that
that is
a problem in itself.

Then it is a problem, as I did nothing to edit the sources.list entries.

I do not get these errors if I comment out the deb-src lines in the sources.list.

I would greatly appreciate help resolving this issue,.

Thanks for the suggestion.
 
The new error message is a malformation at the first line f the suggested solution.
 
There are several additional points to be made:
 
1.        I get the same error when the repository is “devbain.uchicago.edu’
And, most  importantly,
 
2.       The errors arise from sources.list entries made by the Debian installer, not by my editing the file.
 
I am, however, most appreciative of the support that I am receiving from the members of the mailing list.

I just had a catastrophic crash which necessitated reinstalling Debian.  I had been running v-7.2,but decided to upgrade to v-7.10 with a complete install.

Now when I update the repositories, regardless of the tool, Synaptic or Aptitude, I get the following errors:

W: Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/main/source/Sources: 404  Not Found [IP: 2610:148:1f10:3::89 80]

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache

Your deb-src lines should read as follows:

deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/main/source/Sources
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/contrib/source/Sources
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/non-free/source/Sources

Note that you have .../dists/wheezy/updates/... in your sources.list file instead of the correct .../dists/wheezy-updates/...



I do not get these errors if I comment out the deb-src lines in the sources.list.

Now, I know that it has to be a problem with the new install as I have installed v-7.10 in a VMware Workstation 12 Player on my laptop as a test bed and do not get any errors.

I would greatly appreciate help resolving this issue,.

Thanks in  advance.

Still don’t know why the problem, but a field expedient has made the problem redundant.
 
I am running the same version of Debian n my laptop in a VM as a test bed.  There is no problem with the sources. List on that computer.  I ported the file over to the computer with the problem is gone.
 
Many thanks to the members of the list who responded to my cry in the wilderness.
