Hi all, I'm trying to install install flashplugin-nonfree on Wheezy 64 bit on a dual core AMD, and it's been failing continuously. The error message is something to the effect that it can't reach mirrors.rit.edu, and in fact I cannot ping rit.edu, and when I traceroute to rit.edu it gets as far as:
vl-5.car2.Buffalo1.Level3.net (4.69.141.146) 262.192 ms 261.916 ms 262.110 ms and then gives me all stars out to the max 30 hops. So I'm temporarily assuming the root cause is outside anything on my LAN or cable modem. The following is my current /etc/apt/sources.list. ========================================================== # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.5.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20140426-13:35]/ wheezy main deb http://mirror.rit.edu/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb-src http://mirror.rit.edu/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free # wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http://mirror.rit.edu/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirror.rit.edu/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free # ADDED BY SLITT FOR DOVECOT deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable dovecot deb-src http://www.backports.org/debian stable dovecot ========================================================== Therefore I would assume I need to add another mirror to my /etc/apt/sources.list. How would I find such mirrors? Do I just put them below my corresponding rit.edu entries? Can I leave the rit.edu entries intact? Until today, rit.edu has served me admirably. Is there some sort of command I should run to add a mirror set, or do I just edit sources.list?
