I'm seeing this in Tails when I refresh the package repositories:
NB: I am not a user of Tails. Nonetheless, I put the following line into a search engine:
Failed - 0B - InRelease - tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/ debian stretch InRelease
One of the results was this link[1],... https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#deprecation-of-ftp-apt-mirrors ...which gives following (tor variant) example line in /etc/apt/sources.list : deb tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/debian stretch main
Why is this happening and how may I fix it please?
The uri in the failure message, as you have quoted it in your message to debian-user, is subtly different from the corresponding uri found in the release notes: The uri in the release notes ends in ".onion/debian" and is followed by two words namely a suite "stretch" and a component "main", whereas the uri in your message ends in ".onion/" and is followed three words "debian" "stretch" "main". Maybe the extra space is significant, and should be removed? Good luck. Hope this helps. 1. The relevant excerpt: | 5.1.2. FTP access to Debian hosted mirrors will be removed | Debian hosted mirrors will stop providing FTP access. If you have | been using the ftp: protocol in your sources.list, please migrate | to http:. Please consider the following example for migrating: | deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main | deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main | # tor variant (requires apt-transport-tor) | # deb tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/debian stretch main | # deb tor+http://sgvtcaew4bxjd7ln.onion/debian-security stretch/updates main
