With a little help from my friends, I'm teaching myself networking by building an internet server. I am running Debian Linux 3.1 on a Dell Dimension 4100 desktop.
I have installed ISPConfig, and I now I'm trying to install monit: # apt-get install monit Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... The following NEW packages will be installed: monit 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 228kB of archives. After unpacking 643kB of additional disk space will be used. Get:1 ftp://ftp.us.debian.org oldstable/main monit 1:4.5-1 [228kB] Err ftp://ftp.us.debian.org oldstable/main monit 1:4.5-1 Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' [IP: 35.9.37.225 21] Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/monit/monit_4.5-1_i386.deb Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' [IP: 35.9.37.225 21] E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? I tried the update and –-fix-missing options, which don't help. Here is /etc/apt/sources.list: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ oldstable main deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ oldstable main #added by me 11/19/08 #doesn't work! #deb http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/MIRRORS/ oldstable main deb http://security.debian.org/ oldstable/updates main - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The man pages for apt-get and for sources.list are kind of hard to understand. I googled monit_4.5-1_i386.deb, and found it at: http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/MIRRORS/ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/monit / I tried to insert a line in sources.list, but it doesn't work (see line added 11/19/08, then commented out). What does the entry in sources.list needs to look like in order to download monit_4.5-1_i386.deb?
