General :: Aptitude Source List - Error In Authenticating Some Packages
Apr 10, 2011
I do have a problem on updating linux ubuntu 10 I'll show you the error and my sources.list.. Error in authenticating some packages: It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of unauthenticated packages.
So If I open Upgrade manager it says that I need to do a partial upgrade for some reason, so I click partial upgrade, but then I end up with this error: Error authenticating some packages It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of unauthenticated packages.
And this list of packages: acpi-fakekey acpi-support acpi-support-base acpid adduser alsa-base alsa-utils apache2 apache2-mpm-worker apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common .....
Can I keep the old 32bit_testing /home with all the hidden directories there when moving to 64bit_testing?
Is there a way to export a list of all installed packages in aptitude or synaptic, so that when reinstalling, it can be easily imported? (reinstalling the same system)
When I try to install software updates by clicking on the red arrow "update" button, I get a final result stating the following: Error authenticating some packages
It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of unauthenticated packages. initscripts libavc1394-0 libtiff4 sysv-rc sysvinit-utils
I've tried this a few times...same result over the past 10 days.
I'm a fresh user of Debian 6 64 Bit. I'm trying to install wine on it to run bluestacks. URL... but when I use the following command, it can't seem to fetch some files/packages. I have these as my sources list at the moment.
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
i have using ubuntu 10.10 from past 3 months and about a week before upgraded to 11.04. The upgrade was a successful one and everything was back to normal, was enjoying unity. upgrading disabled most of the ppa's in the source list and later i enabled them and still everything was okay. yesterday suddenly when i clicked on the ubuntu software center it was just showing as if it was still processing the source list but after sometime it started giving me the below error: "E:Type 'rc' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/geod-ppa-geod-natty.list"
When opening "Update-manager" I get this error: E:Malformed line 47 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
What I was trying to do was update my Opera web browser, when I tried, Ubuntu told me that I was attempting to download from an unauthenticated source, I checked the software sources list and Opera was in there, so I deleted it and re-added it, I must have done it wrong because after closing out and refreshing "Update-manager" it gave me the error above and closed. So now I can't update anything.
My problem is that I am unable to do a routine upgrade of packages. When I try to perform an upgrade, the following occurs:
Code:
$ sudo aptitude dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
[code]....
If I try to install another package, I get the following message:
Code:
E: I wasn't able to locate file for the tzdata-java package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. E: I wasn't able to locate file for the tzdata-java package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. E: Internal error: couldn't generate list of packages to download
I have installed two softwares manually, from the source code downloaded from their official websites: Stellarium, and the Linux Kernel. The version of these is not the same as the one found in the official repos. My question is: does aptitude have knowledge of the existance of these softwares? Can it do any damage to them, in case, for example, I run automatic aptitude tasks, such as autoclean and dist-upgrade?
I am trying to upgrade an amd64 lenny system to squeeze.I've got a 2.6.32 kernel running, done aptitude update and aptitude install aptitude.When I try "aptitude safe-upgrade", it sits forever resolving dependencies.it seems to search with the resolver counting up more and more open/conflict/ whatever.I stopped it once it got over 100,000)Is it possible to get aptitude to do a safe-upgrade, perhaps using a command line option?
I tried to change the basic toolbar to cairo dock,a tutorial that i found told me to write in terminal gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.listso i write it and a window opened,i couled not find the text that told me(the tutorial i mean)so i closed the window,after that i keep taiking the same error
E: Type �sudo� is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
now whene i got in the winehq.list the text has gone and i take this error in update manager,my software center doesn't work and my terminal whenever i type sudo commands says
E: Type �sudo� is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
How to find packages with aptitude. If I use the shell to type "aptitude search nethack" then I get a list of several nethack versions from which to choose. If I use the aptitude GUI and type Ctrl-T and then arrow over to the search option and type in "nethack" and hit Enter, the only option that I see is nethack-spoilers. Why do I not see all of the other nethack options?
How do I use apt-get or aptitude to tell me what updated packages are available for my system? I'm moving over from Gentoo where I had a cron job that would run a command whose output was a list of available updates. I had this and other system related info emailed to me. I'd like to duplicate that under Ubuntu, but I can't find a way get the available updates.
There is a problem with my source list (apparently) I'm running 11.04 if that helps.When I try to use apt-get install update for example, I get: "Malformed line 59 in source list etc/apt/sources.list"The same error occurs when trying to access synaptic package manager, it tells me there is a malformed line and the list of sources cannot be read.This error prevents me from apt-getting anything, updating and i suspect it is affecting the software center too.
If i am installing softwares through rpm, i can later query to see which softwares are installed on my system (using rpm). But if i have installed any softwares from source (using tar, /.configure methodhow can i list those softwares to see which one are installed ?
I'm getting the following message when attempting to install or upgrade a package. Not sure if it's a bug or not, which is why I'm hesitating to file it as a bug.
For example (note line /bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/apt-listdifferences: not found):
Code: Select alldebian@Debian:~$ sudo aptitude install angband zangband moria The following NEW packages will be installed: Â angband angband-data{a} moria zangband zangband-data{a} 0 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 49 not upgraded. Need to get 5,240 kB of archives. After unpacking 13.0 MB will be used.
OS: RHEL / CentOS If I use "yum" to add / erase packages, OS will log the info to file /var/log/yum.log.
But if use "rpm -e" to remove a package, there is no related log file to show which rpm package got earsed. I have to run "rpm -qa > /tmp/$TIME", and then diff the /tmp/$TIME file to get the difference.
Is there is command to show the erased packages (erased by using rpm -e)?
I'm not to sure if i'm using the right terminology but im trying to install rrdtool and it needs all these dependencies. One of them I have installed but it isn't up to date.glib-1.2x needs to updated to 1.17 or higher. How do i go about updating this? I downloaded the source and did ./configure && make && make install but this didn't update it.Also trying to install libxml-2.0 to 2.6.31, im getting a whole list of dependicies.
Very often we get to hear Binary / Source when we talk about installing packages...From what I understand "Binary" refers to a natively packaged installation by a Distro wheras installation from Source would entail fetching the files, Compiling and then building the package. When we say "source" where do these codes reside? Is it diffferent for different distros or one common source like "sourceforge.net" or similar?! I know it sounds silly but what is the origin of the source codes??
One general remedy if a package is not found is to install from source... So , source would refer to a "tar.gz" or "bz2" archive present at some location like "[URL]". In some cases , id it possible that some packageas are not available in "Source". When I tried to build a package for a particular distro , I was told that some dependencies are not un the source ...What is the meaning of this? So do all distros maintain the codes in their official repositories?
I am just too tired and am missing something in the man pages for aptitude and not getting my search terms right but I can't seem to find a way to make aptitude ignore a couple of supposed broken packages (they work just fine by the way). The only way I can find to remidy the situation is to remove those couple of packages or upgrade several things to their Squeeze counter parts. I really don't want to try and do the upgrade as at home I am stuck on a 56k connection. Removing the broken packages I guess won't be too bad if I can find the debs again after I install a couple of things I want to add to my system. I would however just like to make aptitude ignore the state of my system and try to install what I want anyway.
KDE 4.3 squeeze-SID I've got a strange problem with my last "aptitude safe-upgrade". It had removed all my kde 4.3 and packages I have installed, I don't know why!
This is what aptitude removed : $ dpkg -l | grep ^rc |awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo .....
I reinstalled kde-full (kde 4) but now with an aptitude safe-upgrade or dist-upgrade. It wants to remove my debian-multimedia keyrings and my wine-unstable and others each time.

I am new to Debian (just used Gentoo until now), I run a little server for our company and clients. Unfortunately our hosting company switched us from a Gentoo system to a Debian Lenny box with Confixx and stopped maintaining it. So I will need to do the house keeping, which worries me a bit. Today I started and ran: aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade and got a huge list with packages to upgrade. Unfortunately, I am not confident, if I will break something upgrading (Confixx, apache) as I get the following warning message:
WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed! Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security. You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that this is what you want to do. mysql-client mysql-server-5.1 mysql-client-5.1 mysql-common mysql-server-core-5.1 mysql-server libmysqlclient16 Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway? Is it safe to ignore it and upgrade the needed packages?
I use Jessie, with the Aptitude curses interface for package management. It seems that every time I successfully uninstall/purge a package (along with its dependencies), then the next time I try to install/uninstall anything else it wants to reinstall that package (and its dependencies). It takes several (I haven't counted) "don't install" instructions from me before it will forget about it.
I want to install aptitude using apt-get, but some problems happen like this: The following packages have unmet dependencies: aptitude : Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.10-6-4.8 Depends: libept0 (>= 0.5.30) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages (before do this, I have used command apt-get update and apt-get upgrade)
