Lenny and testing and testing and apt
A few days ago I installed Debian Lenny, i.e., current testing, on my
system replacing stable. It was a fresh install, not an upgrade.
Everything is functioning fine. But when I try to run netselect-apt to
find the fastest mirror, I get:
"netselect was unable to find a mirror, this probably means that
you are behind a firewall and it is blocking traceroute."
I haven't done any tinkering with firewalls, what I installed is what I
got. What is this problem?
Second, I used the mirrors from my stable install, so my sources.list
file has entries like this:
deb http://ftp.port80.se/debian/ lenny main contrib
Works fine. But I want to replace lenny with testing, as I want to be
permanently on testing, even after lenny becomes stable. So I replace
above with
deb http://ftp.port80.se/debian/ testing main contrib
And zilch, apt-get is not able to read the repo at all?
Will somebody please help.
