Re: could not resolve deb.debian.org after installing via debian live image

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

urm, looking again at

  N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
  '/media/deploy/UUI/dists/buster/InRelease' couldn't be accessed by user
  '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

i wonder whether it did simply work fine as root.

"N:" is probably the prefix for a note which reports some peculiarity
but not a real problem. The story would be that the superuser could not
do the work after downgrading itself to "_apt" and thus had to work
by its own superpowers.

In the failure messages of "apt-get install" we see "E:" as prefix.
I guess that means "error". But i find no explanation of these markers
anywhere in man dpkg-deb, dpkg, apt, apt-get.
Probably it is lintian style

Whatever, try whether you now can install openssh-server.

That's obviously a typical example of branching unrelated discussions
from an originally interesting technical question.
Maybe we can present an answer after some more struggle.


Have a nice day :)
