update manager problem in jaunty

[clueless dave]

After upgrading to jaunty, I've started having problems with update manager - specifically it's never done a complete update. Instead it tells me it can't authenticate certain programs, offers a partial upgrade, and then returns programs that still can't be updated/upgraded (consistently gnome-dbg, syslinux and syslinux-common).

Here's the output of sudo apt-get update:

I love the helpful suggestion to run update AGAIN! (doesn't do any good, by the way).

At first I thought maybe the lenny main item was a problem, but it's probably needed for the debian stuff - although the hangup every time is failure to get gnome-dbg, syslinux and syslinux-common....

Any ideas? Thanks.

You have mixed repos and that is not recommended but if you want to keep it that way then type in terminal


gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 9AA38DCD55BE302B
gpg --export --armor 9AA38DCD55BE302B| sudo apt-key add -



gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4D270D06F42584E6
gpg --export --armor 4D270D06F42584E6 | sudo apt-key add -


After first command hit enter.When you are finish do


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

What do you mean by mixed repos, and what would I change to follow good practice?

[zvacet]

What do you mean by mixed repos

I mean that you have Ubuntu and Debian repos in your source list.If that works for you continue with it.It is your comp after all.

Thanks very much. I don't recall how the debian repository was included in the list, but I didn't care that it was there (or not) unless there was some reason to have it there. Long story short, I commented out the line referencing that repo and everything's working fine. (I'm reminded I need more practice with vi!). Thanks again.
