Hello Paul, This approach works fine, thanks for the suggestion:
deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20160427T220235Z wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20160427T220235Z wheezy/updates main contrib non-free I'm simply surprised that these packages have disappeared from security.debian.org before having been properly archived (and without any pointer in that direction on the Security Team FAQ or the LTS wiki - which is otherwise very clear and informative on what to do on LTS-supported architectures). I'm also aware of the sparc situation and the sparc64 porting effort. But on production infrastructure I prefer to be limited to wheezy with some security patches or backported packages, even if we may have to compile them ourselves in the future, rather than be limited to sid on a currently unofficial port...

If you are actually using sparc I would recommend you look at migrating to and assisting the sparc64 porting efforts. Or reviving sparc if you need 32-bit SPARC. Or switch to another architecture. https://wiki.debian.org/Sparc64 https://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/ > There is no wheezy directory in http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/, nor > in http://archive.debian.org/debian-security/dists/. ... > Have these packages been archived somewhere?

Until the non-LTS wheezy architectures are properly archived, you can use the Debian wayback machine with a date before the LTS started. http://snapshot.debian.org/ Also keep in mind that you are going to have to recompile every LTS update from source for sparc or not get security updates. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
