Converting from Squeeze to Wheezy Failure [issue] from Chrunchbang 10 Distro

charging-ibis · 04-02-2015, 06:58 PM

Hello everyone I had received news that Chrunchbang is now discontinued. I am currently trying to migrate from squeeze to wheezy but I am having some issues when doing so.

So after I made changes to my sources.list file from squeeze to wheezy, here is a sample from '/etc/apt/sources.list'. :

Code:

## DEBIAN
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/ wheezy main contrib non-free

Now here is the output:

Code:

username@hostname:/etc/apt$ sudo apt-get update

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

Now here is the issue. One of the lines from the output, it shows:

Code:

W: Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/dists/wheezy/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file.  ' [IP: 130.89.148.12 21]

The problem is this: '/dists/dists/'.

Why am I getting a duplicate directory '/dists/dists/', where the path in '/etc/apt/sources.list' obviously shows the correct path and syntax where there is no duplications. A colleague of mine suggested that there the '/dists/dists/' could already be pointing to that sub-directory './dists/'. Is there a simple step I am missing? May I have assistance on this so that I may get clarrification so I could make the proper adjustments, so I can make the proper migration to wheezy?

~ Thanks.

Might help. Might not.

I upgraded my Panasonic CF-48 AntiX 11 install from Squeeze up to Wheezy a while back.
I'll have to fire it up and post back my sources list.

Edit: This is my upgrade to Wheezy sources.list with no mistakes

Code:

harry@bikertest3:~$ inxi -r
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
           deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

           deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
           Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.list
           deb [arch=i386,amd64] http://linux.dropbox.com/debian wheezy main

You need to remove the 'dists/' part from the main repo line in your sources.list.

Since I fired up this shelf laptop.

I went ahead and did a

Code:

# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

So no errors with my sources.list.

You are also using a server a long way from Ohio.

Try;

Code:

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

May be faster and I know it works.

You may want to check the list of mirrors for Debian. May be one right there in Columbus.
