Can someone post a sample of a good, complete Antix /etc/apt/sources.list for me? Mine has become very jumbled with all of the different advice out on the internet, so I would like to have one that is specifically tailored for Antix/sidux. I would like to either use MIT (Massachusetts) or OSU (Oregon) if possible, since I travel a lot, but would consider something in the Central part of the US if you think that would be faster. Thanks, mizpa

If you are using antiX-M7.5 and wish to do a dist-upgrade to antiX-M8 then you are best using the antiX-upgrader script. (Not finished yet. Should be ready in a day or so)

This is the readout at the end of

Code: Select all

apt-get upgrade
using the above devised sources ( I combined both of them so as to get US oriented sources). Is a problem with the sources, or is it a problem with Mepis 8 or is it a problem with /usr/bin/dpkg?

To fix that error, as root in a terminal

dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/mepis-init*.deb

then do
apt-get -f install

Try clearing your cache: apt-get clean, then try apt-get -f install again. If you get the same message, try removing the packages mentioned, then install them again. By any chance, do you have multiple repositories enabled for the same feature - such as stable and unstable multimedia repos? I thought I saw that in there somewhere. Stick with the repos that come with antiX, at least until you get it sorted out; just change country codes on the repos from de (Germany) to us, and leave the rest alone.

Let us know what you get next.
