Debian :: Outdated Programs In Repository?
Feb 25, 2011
I've been always curious why I have old versions of my software in my Debian's repository. As examples I checked my Apache, PHP and Octave versions. Each of them is outdated (Apache 2.2.16, newest is 2.2.17 | PHP 5.3.3-7 - newest is 5.3.5 | Octave 3.2.4 - newst is 3.4)! When I had Ubuntu there were always upgrades to the newest possible version. Actually I had really fewer problems with Ubuntu. ;/
How I can fix it?
My sources.list:
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.2 _Lenny_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-2 20090628-15:08]/ lenny contrib main
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.2 _Lenny_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20090628-15:08]/ lenny contrib main
## security
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

I'm using openSUSE 11.3 M7, recently I'm getting following message -
Code:
linux-kqyd:/home/anant # zypper up
PackageKit is blocking zypper. This happens if you have an updater applet or other software management application using PackageKit running.
Tell PackageKit to quit? [yes/no] (no): yes

I'm using Linux Mint Helena and my software sources seems outdated. I keep getting the error:
Code:
Could not download all repository indexes The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.
[Code]...
Can I link to repositories which my system is not configured to, for example, could I include all the latest Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint 10 respositories (even though Iḿ using Linux Mint 8?

I have two servers complaining about ClamAV being outdated:
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.96.1 Recommended version: 0.96.3
Doing an aptitude update says I don't have to upgrade anything. Why is this? Must ClamAV be updated manually?

I'm trying to install Adobe Air written for Ubuntu 11.04 [URL]. I downloaded it and have it saved in "downloads". I tried opening it with Synaptic, but it won't recognize it. My hope is to use Air to run a Windows program. Air drives the database.

I'm having some trouble getting Miro updated. The package in Stable is 1.2.3-2, and I can't see all the online content because I don't have the 2.0 version. The thing is thar actually Miro is in its 3.0.1-2 version! I searched the package and is only found on testing (It's not in backports). I was wondering if I can install a package from testing in stable.

After the upgrade to Iceweasel 31.3, there has been messages popping up saying the browser has detected an outdated plugin and need your approval to run it. Since Debian is known for having old packages, I'd assume it's safe to ignore this message?
On another note, I visited a webpage but cannot load, it was blank. I visit the same website on another browser and it displays correctly. What could be wrong?

I have just upped from lenny to squeeze. I didn't mean to, really, but the package manager was well into its stride by the time I realised what was happening. Mostly all went well, BUT /usr is now 100% full. I notice that there are duplicate files in /usr/lib, eg Oct 11 22:35 libgcj.so.10.0.0 and Sep 14 2008 libgcj.so.90.0.0 (I assume the latter has been replaced by the former?). Is it safe to remove the "outdated" lib files? Is there an elegant way of doing it?

I'm using flashplayer-nonfree in Debian, and have run "update-flashplugin-nonfree --install". Going to the version checker (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) says "You have version 10,2,159,1 installed". However, when I go to the Firefox plugin checker (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/) it says Shockwave Flash is using an outdated version that needs to be updated. When I follow the update link, the version it wants me to download is "Adobe Flash Player version 10.2.159.1".

How to best manage partitioning when install programs not from debian repositories?I just discovered that Debian installs applications not from repositories to /opt and /lib. Both directories or folders reside in root (/) partition.Having made my root (/) partition (which is only around 500MB) -- more than sufficient for holding a couple of linux images but NOT good for holding application.What is the best solution for resolving this? It's annoying and worrying that my system always reminds of a close to full capacity root partition.

I have a problem with updating files in the update manager. Each time i do an update a red exclamation mark shows up eith the following error message : The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this icon ant then selecting "check for updates"and check if some of the listed repositories fail. I tried doing this manually but nothing happens. I get a message saying that my system is up to date, and just underneath that it says "the package information was last updated 17 days ago".

All of the 5.4 mirrors I've checked out have new packages in the updates repo added on 10/26 and 10/27, for both i386 and x86_64, but the repodata files haven't been updated since 10/19 so yum and reposync don't see them. how long this should usually take to update?

Today I installed Fedora12 from the DVD, so this is my first contact with all of you. The last years I ran very well with gentoo, but the time for system maintenance got to big the last few times I updated the system, so I decided to change and here am I. The Problem: My system is newly installed from the DVD and I was trying to run the first update, but got the following errormassage by KPackageKit:
Code:
Error Type:
Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in
main()
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3122, in main
backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:])
File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 710, in dispatcher
self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:])
[Code]...
It occured after informing me about the amount of packages that need to be updated and a message about some dependencies that have to be newly installed. At the moment I'm a bit lost about what to do. Also I realy don't know which system-information would be useful - let me know and I will answer.

I noticed a red triangle at the top right of my screen today and I've been trying to sort out the problem. is says "update information is outdated" I used the update like it suggested but get this error msg. I'm new to ubuntu/linux so explain in simple terms: "Could not download all repository indexes. The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct. [URL].. 404 Not Found Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
