Trouble updating ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists/indexdata/etch/

**ceabaird** · October 21st, 2008

OK, in the process of installing Koha on my small Linux box here, and I've run into a problem getting these to fetch:

W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists...rce/Sources.gz 404 Not Found

Specifically, I'm trying to update the package index for IndexData, after installing libexpat, libssl0.9.7 and yaz.

I tried changing the source file to etch from sarge, but it didn't make a difference.

What needs to be changed to make this work?

Thanks for any assistance.

Try adding

Code:

deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/ sarge main

You may run into dependency problems installing the packages though.

Thanks for the reply.

OK, I checked my /etc/apt/sources.list file, and it seems I already have the code:

Code:

deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/ sarge main

added.

Here's what the bottom of the file looks like now:

Code:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security multiverse
deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian sarge main
deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian sarge main
deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released
deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released

Looking at the above, it looks (to me) that maybe I have some repetition in the last 4 lines? Are the last two lines necessary, since ftp.indexdata.dk/debian is invoked in the two previous lines?

Still learning, thanks for the help.

deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released
deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released

These 2 lines are seem to be incorrect. So by adding a #infront of them you should know longer get

W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists...rce/Sources.gz 404 Not Found

Thanks - I deleted those 2 lines, ran sudo apt-get update,
and got no more errors. I guess the instructions here need to be updated.

Thanks for the help!
