You may have some luck with:
cat /etc/debian_version
ahhh.. 4.0
Is there a way around this? Other than a full update, which isn't possible
because the appliance runs a canned program which would likely choke on
a full upgrade.
I'm thinking the problem *might* be that you are running an old release, but have
"stable" in
sources.list.
If you find the release you have installed, you may have more luck using
http://archive.debian.org/
in your sources.list.
I have:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main non-free contrib
which dies (apt-get update) on:
Get:6 http://ftp.us.debian.org stable/contrib Release [98B]
Fetched 8830kB in 1m56s (76.1kB/s)
Reading Package Lists... Error!
the other "Get:1 .. thru .. Get:5" seem to work just fine.
Is there an adjustment I can make or an addition to the sources.list file
which can sneak this Get:6 into working?
I tried replacing ftp.us.debian.org with archive.debian.org and the error
messages really flew!
Help appreciated. Many thanks.
