Post a clean sources.list file

[chapterthree]

Hello All,

I'm thinking that my sources.list file may not be using the correct horay repositories, and was wondering if somebody could post a clean or current version of their sources.list file.

I have included mine below, maybe somebody can tell me if I need to make any modifications.

Yours looks OK to me. Don't use Marillat unless you absolutely have to though...Instead of using Marillat, use Hoary-extras (almost the same packages, but designed for hoary so no breakage) as you seem to be doing.

I think you can also add a hoary-security line for multiverse.

deb http://ftp2.caliu.info/backports hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted

This is mine. I keep the unofficial backport repos in there "just in case". I'll probably remove them once the official backports project gets fully up to speed.

main, restricted, universe, and multiverse can all go on the same line, just so you know.

:sad: :cry: errors like these are appearing in Synaptic:

W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libt/libtool/libltdl3_1.5.6-5_i386.deb
Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'

for every package.... :cry:

I know, just haven't bothered doing that yet. Why does it come that way anyway?
