Post subject: | apt-get update / install -- ***SOLVED*** |
Hi all... Is there a way to ensure that Knoppmyth only installs "stable" modules / programs? When I try to install Firefox and run the "apt-get update" then "apr-get install" I think that it is downloading unstable versions. How do I stop this? And, how do I install Firefox? Hopefully, I will have a system running soon. Thanks again for your help. As you may guess I am a newbie to Linux! Regards, |

Go through the /etc/apt/sources.list file and comment out any line that says "unstable". You may want to make a backup copy before doing this. Actually a quick check of mine shows that they're already commented out, but that may be an artifact of my meddling. |

Hi, Here is my sources list... I use mozilla instead of ff and haven't had any issues that I have discovered yet. The last two are extra so I can apt-get install freemind Mike deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free deb http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/ unstable/ deb-src http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/ unstable/ |

Have a look APT::Default-Release and APT pinning, if you want to keep a mixed system. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-h ... et.en.html http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html |

Post subject: | apt-get epidemic lately |
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9678 This has been happening to a lot of people lately. A request for a sanitized sources.list has been made for the next KnoppMyth that comes out and also for apt-get warnings to be made so people with the current R5B7 release don't unknowingly screw up their install by using apt-get with an unedited sources.list file. |
