Re: Getting "failed to fetch - 404 Not Found" for stretch-backports packages when using live-build, but worked fine before 9.Nov.2017 - any idea why?

["Michael ." <keltoiboy@gmail.com>]

To the best of my knowledge that backports sources.list is incorrect.

I have http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports in my current sources.list

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone else is running into live-build problems like below as of 9.Nov?

Do you guys know how this can be resolved?

The URLs for backports are auto-generated by live-build through specifying distribution as "stretch" and asking for backports (--backports true)

W: The repository 'http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports stretch-backports Release' does not have a Release file.

E: Failed to fetch http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/dists/stretch-backports/non-free/source/Sources  404  Not Found

I was able to build things properly before, but now consistently get these errors.

For reference, the for the "lb config" command I use backports=true :

lb config noauto \

--distribution "stretch" \

--parent-distribution "stretch" \

--backports true \

--clean \

--ignore-system-defaults \

--mode "debian" \

--initsystem systemd \

--initramfs live-boot \

--compression lzip \

--debian-installer false \

--firmware-chroot false \

--apt-indices false \

--apt-recommends false \

--apt-secure false \

--memtest none \

        --security true \

--linux-packages "linux-image linux-headers" \

--archive-areas "main contrib non-free" 

Thanks,

Karen
