I have three separate machines that have identical entries in
/etc/apt/sources.list. All were updated and upgraded this morning as a
result of troubleshooting this issue. On machine #1 I can apt-cache
show nhfsstone and it returns the expected data on nhfsstone. On
machines 2 and 3 it tells me that the nhfsstone package cannot be
found. Running apt-cache search nfs on all machines yeilds similar
results. Machine #1 has nhfsstone included in the result set. Machines
2 and 3 do not.
All machines are pointed to: deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian sid
main contrib non-free.
This just makes absolutely no sense to me. I'm pointing all three to
the same set of repositories and yet two machines cannot find a software
package the other machine finds. I realize that all machines may not
see exactly the same server every time, but to have a package being
found on one machine and missing on two others seems very strange.
Can anyone explain this anomaly this to me?
You are correct, it makes no sense. Do all three machines have the same
access point to the Internet? Is perhaps a firewall in between blocking
something? That's the only reason I can think of that one machine will
work and the others will not.
