apt-get update

[dugstratton]

I have done a HD install of KNOPPIX. Just wondering if it is normal for some failures when I run apt-get update?

Things like
Err http://people.debian.org sid/i386/ Packages
404 Not Found
Err http://people.debian.org sid/source/ Sources
404 Not Found
Err http://non-us.debian.org ./ Packages

Reading Package Lists... Done

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://people.debian.org sid/i386/ Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/people.debian.org_%7ebranden_packages_sid_i386_Pac kages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Reason I ask is that I have a citrix ICA client installed that does not work.
when I run ldd /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica
libXaw.so.6 => not found
libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x418b0000)

Just wondering if somehow the update is not working or what I can do to get this file. Tried finding it but it seems all the links go to Redhat and they are all unavailable.

Those entries in the source.list are outdated you should comment out ( put a # character in front of the line ) the lines in the file and run apt-get update again. Normally to find which package you need to install on a Debian system you would search at http://packages.debian.org . Although that package looks like it is for woody you probably should not try to install it.

libxaw.so.6 (http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=libxaw.so.6&arch=i386&version=stable&searchmode=searchfilesanddirs&case=insensitive)

Whis lines (could you list them) should be commented? I have a simillar problem after entering apt-get update.
Thanks

The lines with the 404 Not found message in the above listing....If you're serious about installing to hard drive try Mepis, it's based on Knoppix but the dependencies are cleaned up and the source files are up to date plus the developer has added some packages and applications that will make it much more user friendly for a newbie.....have fun..... :twisted:

I would like to but what I am trying to get to is having a cd version of some linux (knoppix) with the citrix client installed. I am wanting to get it working on HD install first.

Any chance someone wants to take a stab at getting it installed on knoppix and help me out with this???

[linuxgabe57]

In order to install an rpm package in Debian you will need to use an application called alien, it might already be installed in Knoppix...also you will probably have to go into a root console and use command line for installation. I'm not really familiar on how it works but from what I read iit works in conjunction with the dpkg commands.

Tried that to. It installed but the icons are no where to be found and when I run the script file I think is the correct one I get the same problem. Pops Up then files. Do you think it might have anything to do with firewall settings? Is there a way to disable it and try?

Do you belong to a user group that's located in your area? If there is one, you will probably find a member who is an IT who will be willing to share their experiences with you....Good luck !!!
