Hi all, back in 2020 I used sparky linux rescue which had DDRescue-GUI. It's now not included and I'm curious if intentional and what can I do to have it readded? It would be great to have Victoria scan tool and even HDTune! Thanks.

  Let's see lad.

Because, it seems to me that you are messing up on your own. Whether you use the old or new format, the result can NOT differ.
 It must be the same (since you are using the same repositories).

So, check thoroughly if there are any errors (repository, signatures... etc).
Or use the available option 'sudo apt modernize-sources' that 21grams has told you about in his message.

Code Select
sudo apt modernize-sources && sudo apt --update dist-upgrade

Finally, check if everything is working as it should be ...
Good luck !!






Cheers !!

My question was simple one.
When I update repos in the old way, the sudo apt update gets plenty of updates in the terminal.
Meanwhile when I update repos in the new way sudo apt update shows the message : All packages are up to date.

Why this happen ?

See the follow ...

/etc/apt/sources.list[/] (old way)
Code Select
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ forky main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ forky main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ forky-security/updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ forky-security/updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ forky-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ forky-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# deb http://deb-multimedia.org/ forky main non-free

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list (old way)
Code Select
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main

deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ tiamat main 

Notice. Instead of forky the right entry tiamat is entered in the above repos

Code Select

  It seems to be a typing error:







Because, in the same news item, written on the main page (2025/08/17) it does appear correctly.
And even in this news, a reference is made to this wiki article with the wrong data.

May be a couple of issues with the 8-9 instructions. May have been edited incorrectly recently.

There is no mention of
Code Select
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/unofficial-multimedia-packages.sourcesand I believe
Code Select
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ forky main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ forky mainshould read
Code Select
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ tiamat main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ tiamat main
Simple way to change to the new format would be to use
Code Select
sudo apt modernize-sources and if update complains add
Code Select
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/deb-multimedia-keyring.pgp to
Code Select
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/unofficial-multimedia-packages.sources
Do NOTE that synaptic does not recognise the new format in its repository lists at this stage.

Strange ....

As per description in the
Code Select
https://wiki.sparkylinux.org/doku.php/upgrade_8_to_9
there are 2 ways to change the repositories . new way and old way.

When I change repositories as per follow sources:

 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources (new way)

Code Select
Types: deb deb-src
 URIs: http://deb.debian.org/debian/
 Suites: forky
 Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
 Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
 
 Types: deb deb-src
 URIs: http://security.debian.org/debian-security/
 Suites: forky-security/updates
 Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
 Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
 
 Types: deb deb-src
 URIs: http://deb.debian.org/debian/
 Suites: forky-updates
 Components: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
 Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.sources (new way)

Code Select
Types: deb deb-src
 URIs: https://repo.sparkylinux.org/
 Suites: core
 Components: main
 Signed-By: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/sparky-repo.asc
 
 Types: deb deb-src
 URIs: https://repo.sparkylinux.org/
 Suites: tiamat
 Components: main
 Signed-By: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/sparky-repo.asc
No any update comes up one when I use : sudo apt update

de-activating (the above description repos ) and changing them as per per follow sources :

/etc/apt/sources.list (old way)

Code Select
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian forky main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
 deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian forky main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
 deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ forky-security/updates main contrib non-free non-free-  firmware
 deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ forky-security/updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
 deb http://deb.debian.org/debian forky-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
 deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian forky-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
 deb http://deb-multimedia.org/ forky main non-free
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list (old way

 
Code Select
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main
 deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main
 deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ forky main
 deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ forky main

the second one gives error saying that ( Err:8 https://repo.sparkylinux.org forky Release         
  404  Not Found [IP: 184.174.34.74 443]
Error: The repository 'https://repo.sparkylinux.org forky Release' does not have a Release file.).

For that reason I disabled repos in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list

When I use sudo apt update or synaptic the updates are fired up.

Any other has experienced the same ?

I don't recall it being like that before. This felt very unwelcome, burdensome. I tried 3-4, and then gave up because I wasn't going to go find a pen and piece of paper to write down whatever I was being forced to concoct just to install the OS for a few days to look around, see how it is today.

Are you serious, lad? 

Because your complaint is absolutely ridiculous.
 It is simply highly recommended, to use a 'Strong Password' to maintain/enhance correct security.

Also, don't you know that you can change passwords whenever you want ...??

Well, it is clearly indicating that there is a very obvious error in the SparkyLinux repositories. Which, you should correct.

Here. you can see an image with the repositories correctly configured:
