#185873 — Tails: Failed InRelease - tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/

I'm seeing this in Tails when I refresh the package repositories:

Failed - 0B - InRelease - tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/ debian stretch InRelease

Why is this happening and how may I fix it please?

Ask the tails people. This is the DEBIAN-user mailing list.

Tail is Debian because anything that has official debian repositories
to feed from.  Unlike debian based distributions that have their own
repositories.
There is nothing in tails that you can not get or make from a basic
debian installation.  The only thing special about it is its configuration
of debian packages.  Much of it has to do with restriction to avoid
permanent installation..
There is not much room in live debian to do a massive upgrade if
it is outdated, but you can install packages and even save them
in the encrypted persistent volume for next time.  Are you sure you
has a network connection and a tor connection?  Either this or
the debian mirror was down which is unlikely.  There was a recent
bug in a previous version it would not connect with some machines.
Not a very communicative group even for filing bugs.
As long as they are on a systemd based system, IMHO, they are
defeating their purpose and goal.  Technically interesting but
functionally 0!  Which zero might you ask!

NB: I am not a user of Tails.

Nonetheless, I put the following line into a search engine:

> Failed - 0B - InRelease - tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/ debian stretch InRelease

One of the results was this link[1],...

   https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#deprecation-of-ftp-apt-mirrors

...which gives following (tor variant) example line in
/etc/apt/sources.list :

   deb tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/debian stretch main

> Why is this happening and how may I fix it please?

The uri in the failure message, as you have quoted it in your message
to debian-user, is subtly different from the corresponding uri found
in the release notes: The uri in the release notes ends in
".onion/debian" and is followed by two words namely a suite "stretch"
and a component "main", whereas the uri in your message ends in
".onion/" and is followed three words "debian" "stretch" "main".

Maybe the extra space is significant, and should be removed?

Good luck. Hope this helps.

1. The relevant excerpt:

| 5.1.2. FTP access to Debian hosted mirrors will be removed

|    Debian hosted mirrors will stop providing FTP access. If you have
|    been using the ftp: protocol in your sources.list, please migrate
|    to http:. Please consider the following example for migrating:
| deb http://deb.debian.org/debian          stretch         main
| deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main

| # tor variant (requires apt-transport-tor)
| # deb  tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/debian stretch main
| # deb  tor+http://sgvtcaew4bxjd7ln.onion/debian-security stretch/updates main

Well, not "main". Not in your message. Whatever.

I'm just suggesting to check your sources.list to make sure you have
the correct uri, with no space between "...onion/" and the following
"debian".

Not likely. The problem appears to be with the file that's requested: an 
InRelease file. The repository at the onion URL doesn't have that, only 
Release + Release.gpg files.
As far as I'm aware, apt is usually able to handle that. Maybe Tails 
uses an unusual setting? So, yes, perhaps asking the Tails people isn't 
such a bad idea after all...

Regards,
Frank
