Title: Apt-get Update Failures
Post by: Vitel on December 05, 2007, 10:23:53 am

I've tried to make 'apt-get update' and got nothing, because all Release files are almost empty (here, for example http://ftp.easynet.be/ftp/gnuab/debian/dists/) (http://ftp.easynet.be/ftp/gnuab/debian/dists/)). In other words, this command results in DB cleaning. Therefore I cannot install any packages via apt tool now. How can I restore apt-get data bases? Has anyone faced the same troubles?

try to use the sources.list of the wiki :

https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=1-For_Debian_EABI (https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=1-For_Debian_EABI)

try also to use the now official alternate repository :

http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-armel/ (http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-armel/)
