I am trying to upgrade a machine to slink, it was going fine till it attempted to download the "xbooks" package. It waited for ages saying
0% [Waiting for file] Then eventually bombed out with: Get:1 http://www.au.debian.org stable/main xbooks 3.3.2.3a-2 [17.4Mb] Err http://www.au.debian.org stable/main xbooks 3.3.2.3a-2 Error reading from server Remote end closed connection Failed to fetch http://www.au.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/x 11/xbooks_3.3.2.3a-2.deb Error reading from server Remote end closed connection E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe try with --fix-missing? Now I tried two different archives, namely "http.us.debian.org" and "www.au.debian.org" and both had the same problem. It would seem that any file too large just doesn't even start downloading. Any ideas/solutions? Oh, and the other thing is, apt-get suggested "maybe try with --fix-missing", but I cannot find any mention of --fix-missing in the apt-get documentation. Is this a typo? If not, what does this option do? Cheers, Mark. P.S. This is apt version 0.3.2 _/~~~~~~~~\___/~~~~~~\____________________________________________________ ____/~~\_____/~~\__/~~\__________________________Mark_Phillips____________ ____/~~\_____/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ____/~~\HE___/~~\__/~~\APTAIN_____________________________________________ ____/~~\______/~~~~~~\____________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ "They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them!"
