Hi, I use dselect with the "apt" method, and I ran into a problem
today. I got the following message and several similar ones while doing
"Update":
Error http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian/ unstable/contrib Packages
404 No such file or directory.
Apt was quite correct, so this wasn't a problem. The problem was that
apt then died with:
update available list script returned error exit status 100.
and did not merge the Package.gz files that it WAS able to download.
This forced me to edit /etc/apt/sources.list by hand to make temporary
changes until that site is fixed. I don't see why apt can't just merge
the files that it was able to download...
-Thanks a lot!
