I'm new to Debian, trying to install a kernel image for amd64-k8-smp. I'm having problems when I try to do an "apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp".
I've had a look at the /etc/apt/sources.list file, and added a few sources but with no luck. My sources file looks like: #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main #deb ftp://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64 testing main #deb-src ftp://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64 testing main #deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian testing main contrib #deb http://bach.hpc2n.umu.se/debian-amd64/debian testing main contrib #deb http://bytekeeper.as28747.net/debian-amd64/debian testing main contrib #deb ftp://mirror.switch.ch testing main contrib deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian sarge main contrib One note: I thought I installed "sid", but the 3 top lines were the original lines in this file, and said "sarge" or "testing" (as they still do), so I guess I've installed sarge? The output of my apt-get install is: ------------------------------------------------ rahdebian:/etc/apt# apt-get install \ kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.nl.debian.org sarge/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.nl.debian.org_debian-amd64_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-amd64_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.nl.debian.org sarge/contrib Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.nl.debian.org_debian-amd64_debian_dists_sarge_contrib_binary-amd64_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems E: Couldn't find package kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp ------------------------------------------------------ I've noticed that the "(/var/lib/apt/...) line above replaces "/" with "_". This looks like a problem (maybe the cause of my hassles?), but how on earth do the "_" get there?? Is "Contents-amd64.gz" the source package list which the above error msg is referring to? If so, it can be found at : http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian/dists/sarge/ which is a different path from the one enabled in sources.list, so what's going on here?? -- Rupert Heesom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
