Re: Best debian 9 repo for sparc64 packages
Modified my sources to file to reflect
"https://deb.debian.org/debian-ports"; then ran apt-get update. Doing so
caused Vim to install properly. Have not added snapshot.debian.org to
my sources because I am unsure of the correct path to use?
At this point:
A) firefox still doesn't install.
"apt-get install firefox

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

B) Iceweasel doesn't install

Please specify the best location/mirror/repo for downloading latest
debian 9 sparc64 packages. When I attempted to use debian 9 about
two weeks ago, I had a couple of missing package requirements for vim
and web browsers (firefox and ldxe web browser). For some reason I am
unable to install those packages because of missing dependencies.
Wondering if I am using the best repo for latest packages?
Please check. Are these dependencies part of the main repo?
https://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/
Thanks,
