I have read the sources.list manual page, and I sort of understand how these
lines work. However, I have not yet found a document detailing all the possible
values you can use for distribution and component, so I have to set up my
sources.list by trial and error. Is there such a document?
My sources.list lines currently say ...
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US main contrib non-free
Are these correct?
With these lines, an apt-get update returns one error message...
Failed to fetch
http://security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages
Error reading from server Remote end closed connection
I assume the
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
line must be wrong - how, and why?
