12.10 was just released this last weekend so you might want to upgrade again. It's not vital but you'll then be more up to date. apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade works for me to do that. I hit something similar the other day. You can try (from Adam Barratt on IRC): adsb | often just rm-ing /var/lib/apt/lists/* and trying again is enough In my case, I switched mirrors - my /etc/apt/sources.list pointed to deb.debian.org in each line of the stanza. I'm in the UK to changed this to ftp.uk.debian.org for each line and it worked for me. I think sometimes it's just a stale file / cache somewhere. Try changing mirrors to the nearest mirror in your country, maybe, and see if that makes a difference. As ever with apt problems, it's really useful if you can copy you *actual* /etc/apt/sources.list file to the mailing list. It is very easy to make a typo. Invariably, when you do so, someone else will spot _exactly_ what you've done immediately, even though you've been looking at it for hours :) With every good wish, as ever, Andy Cater (amaca...@debian.org) > I have replaced /etc/apt/source.list on the 12.7 machine with that from > the 12.9 machine, done > > apt-get clean > apt-get update > apt-get upgrade > > but no new packages are installed. > > Where could I look to see where the problem is? > > Cheers, > > Loris > > -- > This signature is currently under constuction. >
