Hey guys I use my laptop in two different countries, UK and DE, and so I chose to have different sources.list files in /etc/apt/. I also played around with other sources for KDE 3 and other stuff.
Now the problem is that when I recently changed something in sources.list and now select something new in dselect, dselect tries to download versions, that are currently not available. Even worse dselect also tries to update packages that are assumed to be outdated. Same holds for apt-get (when upgrading). I always get sth. like Get:15 ftp://ftp.linux.co.uk sid/main apt-howto-en 1.8.3-2 [230kB] Err ftp://ftp.linux.co.uk sid/main apt-howto-en 1.8.3-2 Unable to fetch file, server said '/pub/debian/pool/main/a/apt-howto/apt-howto-en_1.8.3-2_all.deb: No such file or directory ' I tried the following dpkg --forget-old-unavail dpkg --clear-avail but it didn't have the result as hoped for. How do I clear this available-cache with the version numbers in it? I'm using sid if anyone thinks that matters. Thanks in advance Bjoern
