why can't do this sources.list

[amin_od]

I try to get the backport. So I edit the sources.list as foolow:

deb http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports/warty-backports main universe multiverse restricted

Since I'm using hoary, I did try change warty-backports to hoary-backports as well. The error msg when reload using sypnaptic:


W: Couldn't stat source package list http://backports.ubuntuforums.org warty-backports/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/backports.ubuntuforums.org_backports_dists_warty-backports_universe_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

What's going on here ?

>deb http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports/warty-backports main universe multiverse restricted

The format above is incorrect. It should be as follows:

deb http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports warty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

* Note that there is no '/' between backports and warty-backports, this is the key.

Thanks, but still doesn't work. This is my /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary universe

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary-security main restricted

## non free
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary multiverse


## backport
deb http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports hoary-backports main universe multiverse restricted

And this is the error msg:

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://backports.ubuntuforums.org hoary-backports/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/backports.ubuntuforums.org_backports_dists_hoary-backports_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://backports.ubuntuforums.org hoary-backports/multiverse Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/backports.ubuntuforums.org_backports_dists_hoary-backports_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

If I put a comment on the deb http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports hoary-backports main universe multiverse restricted then the err.msg disappear.

Please noted that I did my upgrade from warty to hoary one application by one applications. Is there something missing that I don't upgrade ?
