Re: getting Aptitude failed with my sources.list
Jamin
Many thanks. I just did this. It indeed down loads a new list of packages
and updates many. It also got aptitude, which I will use to finish the
upgrade.
The error message said to do this on the next-to-last line that I did not
read but certainly should have read before I wrote the list.
Again, thanks. Off to RTFM (again).
