Apt-get Update Failures
« 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/). 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?
Regards,
Vitel

try to use the sources.list of the wiki :

try also to use the now official alternate repository :
