If you’re still on Debian Sarge, Woody or Potato you (seriously) might want to consider an upgrade. But if, for some stupid reason, you can’t it would be nice to still have the repositories available. This is where the Debian Archive Repository comes in handy. Using it is quite simple:
And this is how your sources.list may look like:
# # sarge # deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free # # updates # deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian-security/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/debian-security/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free # # backports # deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/backports.org sarge-backports main contrib non-free
Thanks! Saved my life!
Works for lenny too, thanks.
Works even for Woody 🙂
Thanks!
I won’t say it saved my life, but it saved at least a bunch of attempts to update this old Sparcstation 5 that was powered on for the last time in 2005. Thanks! 🙂
