I'm a debian novice. I'm just trying to install updates on my vps, and apt-get update ends up with 404 errors. I googled for a while and some suggested replacing or regenrating the sources.list file, so I've done that (afaik).
here's my current sources.list:
# Debian packages for stable
deb http://mirror.0x.sg/debian/ stable main contrib
# Uncomment the deb-src line if you want 'apt-get source'
# to work with most packages.
# deb-src http://mirror.0x.sg/debian/ stable main contrib
# Security updates for stable
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib
this is my system:
root@debbox:/etc/apt# uname -a
Linux debbox 4.8.6-x86_64-linode78 #1 SMP Tue Nov 1 14:51:21 EDT 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I installed and ran netselect-apt to get it to rebuild the sources.list you see above:
root@debbox:/etc/apt# apt-get install netselect-apt
... snip ...
Writing sources.list.
Done.
but apt-get udpate fails still. not sure what the ftp.utexas stuff comes from.
root@debbox:/etc/apt# apt-get update
