    Request Info regarding current menu items for Knoppix 6.2.1 etc/apt/sources.list

    Dear Mods and members,
    I have a very old laptop of 2006 which is still in prestine condition and runs best in Knoppix 6.2.1. Later versions slow it down.

    Of late I realised that I need to update the /etc/apt/sources.list to include certain packages. However, Debian Lenny has since moved to Archive. I would need to change the sources.list entries. Lenny archive is straightforward. Security info and line is bit complicated, I can't implement it.
    Please advise.
    Regards

    Perhaps https://www.howtoforge.com/using-old...r-sources.list may help you. Now also Debian wheezy is oldstable and without security support.

    I thought since knoppix is a mix it would be complicated. However it appears straightforward! I was also worried about my invalid keys. Mant thanks!

    Some VITAL INFO for Installation of Old Knoppix in old computers (go till end!)

    Read till the end:

    My current sources.list:
    Code:
    # Debian/Lenny is the stable base for this installation.
    # For update of key,  apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
    deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ lenny contrib main non-free
    deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security lenny/updates main contrib non-free
    
    # testing/unstable/experimental contain newer versions, but
    # packages from there are not being installed by default, unless
    # they came from there in the first place.
    deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
    deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
    deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
    
    # Debian/volatile contains quickly changing data like spam- and virusfilter databases
    # deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile stable/volatile main contrib non-free
    
    # Knoppix repository
    # deb http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org ./
    My /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf file:
    Code:
    // Pre-configure all packages with debconf before they are installed.
    // If you don't like it, comment it out.
    // DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true";};
    APT::Cache::Limit "100000000";
    Code:
    apt-get clean && apt-get update --fix-missing
    yields:

    Code:
    Get:1 http://archive.debian.org lenny Release.gpg [1034B]                      
    Get:2 http://ftp.de.debian.org squeeze Release.gpg [1655B]  
    .........                  
    and 500 lines blah blah ...
    W: Unable to munmap
    E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
    Increased the apt size to 100000000 in 70debconf, removed comment:
    Code:
    // DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true";};
    APT::Cache::Limit "200000000";
    from 70debconf . Result:
    Code:
    apt-get clean && apt-get: update --fix-missing
    Err http://archive.debian.org lenny Release.gpg
      Cannot initiate the connection to archive.debian.org:80 (2607:f8f0:610:4000:6564:a62:ce0c:137e). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) [IP: 2607:f8f0:610:4000:6564:a62:ce0c:137e 80]
    ...
    and 1000 blah blah ...
    Nothing appeared to work, grrrrr ...

    Lastly, I found that
    Code:
    APT::Cache::Limit "100000000";
    was actually to be:
    Code:
    APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";

    Hello Rajib!

    Not only lenny, but also squeeze and wheezy are outdated and without security support; therefore you cannot use these within the sources.lst.

    The earlier post was regarding "-" instead of "::".
    However, since you have already stated the question I would have asked next, tell me a workaround Please.

    The usual way to define APT::Cache-Limit is within '/etc/apt/conf' (→ man apt.conf); but also the Knoppix way will do it: within '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00knoppix'
    Code:
    APT::Cache-Limit 80000000;
    apt-get clean && apt-get: update --fix-missing Err http://archive.debian.org lenny Release.gpg
    "http://archive.debian.org" is wrong; it has to be "http://archive.debian.org/debian"
    What do you get for
    Code:
    apt-config dump |grep Release
    and
    Code:
    lsb_release -rd

    Dear Mr. Schulz,
    I didn't have any problem with the APT::cache line. It was already rectified and resized.
    My sources.list doesn't have the lines with errors. So where is the error :: http://archive.debian.org lenny Release.gpg :: coming from?
    Here are the complete list of apt related files:

    Of these only these three appear to control things:
    Code:
    /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
    /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove
    /etc/apt/preferences.d
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d
    Of these, these two files have the same entries: /etc/apt/preferences.d and /etc/apt/sources.list.d . The entry directs to /UNIONONFS/etc/apt/ blah blah.
    So I went to those files. They are empty.
    Which files do you intend to change using your following codes:
    (1) apt-get clean && apt-get: update --fix-missing Err http://archive.debian.org lenny Release.gpg
    (2) apt-config dump |grep Release gives APT:efault-Release "Stable"
    (3) lsb_release -rd gives Debian 5.0.10

    You may try a sources.lst only containing this line
    Code:
    deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ lenny contrib main non-free
    and now
    Code:
    su
    aptitude update
    apt-key update
    to solve the GPG-error.

    But I fear you'll never get a working apt-cache for your very old Knoppix installation based on Debian lenny. If you doesn't have a backup of the Knoppix installation, then the apt-cache is already destroyed. With Debian you can update/upgrade from one release to the next following release. As I know it's impossible to skip two releases.
