SparkyLinux Forums

Hi: I tried to upgrade Sparky today on my Dell X1, but could not do so using either apt-get or synaptic. When I click on "reload" in Synaptic, I get a series of error messages:

Have I lost support for this version of Sparky? Or ??



Thanks in advance.

Change Sparky repo:

Pavroo: thanks for your prompt reply! I followed the procedures noted above, The number of error messages is much reduced, but I still get:



W: Failed to fetch http://repo.sparkylinux.org/repo/dists/testing/InRelease



W: Failed to fetch http://repo.sparkylinux.org/repo/dists/testing/Release.gpg  Could not resolve 'repo.sparkylinux.org'



W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.



Do I need yet another key, or ???

You can't download package list from http://repo.sparkylinux.org because it doesn't exist any more.

Follow the instruction http://sparkylinux.org/repository-changed/ - remove the old address and add the new one.

Pavroo:



The site http://sparkylinux.org/repository-changed/  states:



"To change old repository for the new one, edit (as root) the file:



nano /etc/apt/sources.list



Remove the text from the file:



# sparky

deb http://repo.sparkylinux.org/ sparky main

#deb http://repo.sparkylinux.org/ sparky dev



Add new two lines to the file:



# sparky

deb http://sparkylinux.org/repo testing main



Download the new public key:

wget -O - http://sparkylinux.org/repo/sparkylinux.gpg.key | apt-key add -



And refresh package list:

apt-get update"



After doing so, my /etc/apt/sources.list reads:



deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-free

# opera web browser

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free

# google-chrome web browser

deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

# snowlinux (e17)

# do not use it for regular updates

# deb http://packages.snowlinux.de/ glacier main import upstream

# sparky

deb http://repo.sparkylinux.org/repo testing main



When I run apt-get update, I get the error message:



W: Failed to fetch http://repo.sparkylinux.org/repo/dists/testing/InRelease



W: Failed to fetch http://repo.sparkylinux.org/repo/dists/testing/Release.gpg  Could not resolve 'repo.sparkylinux.org'



W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.



Can you help me with what I'm missing? Thanks again for your time.

Change the line from:

to:

Pavroo: Well, that was a silly mistake. And it was staring me in the face all this time! After that change, I have no more errors and the system is finally up to date. Thanks for your time and patience!
