I have read the sources.list manual page, and I sort of understand how these lines work. However, I have not yet found a document detailing all the possible values you can use for distribution and component, so I have to set up my sources.list by trial and error. Is there such a document? My sources.list lines currently say ... deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US main contrib non-free Are these correct? With these lines, an apt-get update returns one error message... Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages Error reading from server Remote end closed connection I assume the deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free line must be wrong - how, and why? -- Nikki Locke, Trumphurst Ltd.
