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

Hi,

(where are the DDs when Debian has to be explained ?)

Moan. This is openssh-server-udeb, not openssh-server.

  https://packages.debian.org/unstable/openssh-server-udeb
says
  Warning: This package is intended for the use in building debian-installer
  images only. Do not install it on a normal Debian system.

  https://packages.debian.org/unstable/openssh-server
says
  This package provides the sshd server.
But it is not in the Live ISO's pool.
(wc counts 435 .udeb and 45 .deb in the pool. So it seems not to be
 intended as repository.)


You will need to get some larger pool and put it on USB stick.
Let us search:

  https://cdimage-search.debian.org/
  [v] "release (The most recent release of Debian, currently 10.2.0)"
  (*) "exact filename search (faster); shell globs (*,?) are permitted"
  openssh-server*amd64*

yields:

 1. openssh-server-udeb_7.9p1-10+deb10u1_amd64.udeb appears in:
    ...
 2. openssh-server_7.9p1-10+deb10u1_amd64.deb appears in:
    debian-10.2.0-amd64-STICK16GB-1 (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-10.2.0-amd64-BD-1 (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-edu-10.2.0-amd64-BD-1 (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-10.2.0-amd64-netinst (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-10.2.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1 (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-edu-10.2.0-amd64-netinst (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-mac-10.2.0-amd64-netinst (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-10.2.0-amd64-DLBD-1 (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-10.2.0-amd64-DVD-1 (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-update-10.2.0-amd64-DVD-2 (list.gz | jigdo | iso)
    debian-10.2.0-amd64-i386-netinst (list.gz | jigdo | iso)

Depending on the size of the available USB stick, i'd download and dd to
the stick (or to a partition of it, or into a filesystem in a partition) :
  debian-10.2.0-amd64-DLBD-1       (~ 50 GB)
  debian-10.2.0-amd64-BD-1         (~ 25 GB)
  debian-10.2.0-amd64-STICK16GB-1  (guess from name)
  debian-10.2.0-amd64-DVD-1        (~  4 GB)
  debian-10.2.0-amd64-netinst      (~  0.35 GB)
Then adapt sources.list to use the mounted ISO on the stick (mounted as
the whole stick device, partition, or file in its mounted host filesystem).


Have a nice day :)
