Hi all, I am installing wheezy packages on a pc. I have the OS running fine in console. However when I try installing further packages, apt-get says it can't find some packages. I am using mirror.debian.au as repo. and have done apt-get update. When I look at the apt-get install error , I notice its looking for a .... -2.deb version where as the repo has the ...-1.deb version of the same file. How do I fix that? Cheers Daniel.
Fixed. I just used a different repo ... aarnet mirror instead. BTW that was mirror.linux.org.au that failed before. not mirror.debian.au Daniel. On 09/05/13 13:20, Daniel Jitnah wrote:

note that you can also tell apt-get to just ignore missing packages, to go ahead and upgrade as much as it can. it'll upgrade everything except the missing packages and anything that depends on those package versions. from the apt-get man page: -m, --ignore-missing, --fix-missing Ignore missing packages; if packages cannot be retrieved or fail the integrity check after retrieval (corrupted package files), hold back those packages and handle the result. Use of this option together with -f may produce an error in some situations. If a package is selected for installation (particularly if it is mentioned on the command line) and it could not be downloaded then it will be silently held back. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Missing. useful any time a debian mirror lags behind, which is a lot more common if you run sid or testing than if you run the stable release. later, when the mirror has caught up, you can run the 'apt-get dist-upgrade' again. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>

You could also try using http.debian.net, which supposedly redirects you to the nearest non-broken mirror[1]. See http://http.debian.net/ for details. Notes [1] At the moment it it redirecting me to http://ftp.tr.debian.org/debian/which may not actually be the closest. What country is tr?
