problems with apt-get
I'm new to Debian, trying to install a kernel image for amd64-k8-smp.
I'm having problems when I try to do an "apt-get install
kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp".
I've had a look at the /etc/apt/sources.list file, and added a few
sources but with no luck.
My sources file looks like:
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main
#deb ftp://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64 testing main
#deb-src ftp://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64 testing main
#deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian testing main contrib
#deb http://bach.hpc2n.umu.se/debian-amd64/debian testing main contrib
#deb http://bytekeeper.as28747.net/debian-amd64/debian testing main
contrib
#deb ftp://mirror.switch.ch testing main contrib
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian sarge main contrib
One note: I thought I installed "sid", but the 3 top lines were the
original lines in this file, and said "sarge" or "testing" (as they
still do), so I guess I've installed sarge?
The output of my apt-get install is:
------------------------------------------------
rahdebian:/etc/apt# apt-get install \ kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Couldn't find package kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp
------------------------------------------------------
I've noticed that the "(/var/lib/apt/...) line above replaces "/" with
"_". This looks like a problem (maybe the cause of my hassles?), but
how on earth do the "_" get there??
Is "Contents-amd64.gz" the source package list which the above error msg
is referring to? If so, it can be found at :
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian/dists/sarge/
which is a different path from the one enabled in sources.list, so
what's going on here??
