I've got the Problem that apt-get doesn't find any package on my new installed Debian 7.3.

First I got the error that I should enter the Installation-CD, then I edited the /etc/apt/sources.list and commented the first line out:

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.3.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20131215-04:56]/ wheezy contrib main

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib

# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
# A network mirror was not selected during install.  The following entries
# are provided as examples, but you should amend them as appropriate
# for your mirror of choice.
#
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib

Then I did apt-get update:

root@Bautz:~# apt-get update
OK   http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release.gpg
OK   http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release
OK   http://ftp.debian.org wheezy-updates Release.gpg

OK   http://ftp.debian.org wheezy-updates/contrib Translation-en
OK   http://ftp.debian.org wheezy-updates/main Translation-en/DiffIndex

If I want to install any package now via apt-get, I get:

root@Bautz:~# apt-get install bmon
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.       
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
E: Paket bmon kann nicht gefunden werden.
root@Bautz:~# apt-get install htop
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig

Is there someone who has any advice?

  • Here is the debian mirror list. Try with another mirror. It's not network problem, you're able to run apt-get update. Have you modified the apt configuration?

    Can you translate the errors into English? You'll likely get an answer quicker. And tell Walter White we're waiting for him

Try adding some or all of these to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-proposed-updates contrib non-free main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free

  • One question... Where can I find list of ALL Debian sources you listed here? Plus I need to read about them a bit.

    @71GA You can read this book, debian-handbook.info, (it is free and online), it also has a chapter on how to update your system and the repos you asked about. And much more.
