#193050 — Problem using "apt-get update"

FromRichard Owlett <rowlett@cloud85.net>
Date2018-02-24 17:50 +0100
SubjectProblem using "apt-get update"
Message-ID<vmLbk-4v8-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
I had just done a minimal (command line only) install of Stretch from 
the first DVD of the complete set rather than using netinst to conserve 
bandwidth. The install as usual was successful.

I wish to install a package from the repository - it's not on DVD1.
I added the line
       deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main non-free contrib
to sources.list while commenting out the line referencing CDROM.

I attempted to run "apt-get update".
It *FAILED*
The message was the source I wanted was being ignored.

WHY?

The message started a recognizable abbreviation of "ignored".
For a character perfect quote - where would it be logged?

OK, I mis-remembered which line had "Ign". Here is redo:
> Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates InRelease

So I redid the apt-get install which got me problem chasing,
(apt-get install xorg lightdm lvwm) whose captured output was:
> Reading package lists...
> Building dependency tree...
> Reading state information...

That was followed by an uncaptured line saying:
E: Unable to locate package lvwm

Color me more confused ;<

It could be due to archive signature being incorrect or something. You
can *force*-override this with [ trusted=yes ] in the "deb" line, as in;

deb [ trusted=yes ] http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
non-free contrib

But it is strongly recommended against using this arbitrarily. (I use
it for home-grown local archives only)

Or maybe not ( when I use a search engine instead of my imagination).

"ign" means there have been no changes in the file - so it won't
be downloaded again. Nothing to worry about.

The messages emitted by apt-get update are cryptic and undocumented, but

No. A typo in the following "apt-get install ..." line ;/
