Show us the content of the file /etc/apt/sources.list please.

You can retrieve the content of the file with either a text editor like nano, vim or vi or you can use the cat command:

Code: (Select All)

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Are you running Debian 8 with Debian 9 repository? This is not recommended as it can bring great conflict between package version and applications. Moreover it can even break the OS by installing more up to date packages but not compatible packages. Be careful with this!

Replace:

Code: (Select All)

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main



deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main



deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main

deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main



deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free



deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free



deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

with this:

Code: (Select All)

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free



deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free



deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free



deb https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

This will solve the first problem you had that reported conflicts due to duplications. Run "apt-get update" after replacing the sources to verify everything is working.

Regarding your second error. You have to install the authentication key of the custom repository you added so that your Debian server can trust the sources from which the packages are being downloaded.

Do the following to fix the issue.

Go to /tmp folder:

Code: (Select All)

cd /tmp

Download the webmin repository authentication key:

Code: (Select All)

wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc

Install the authentication key:

Code: (Select All)

apt-key add jcameron-key.asc

After successfull installation of the key you can delete the downloaded file:

Code: (Select All)

rm -f jcameron-key.asc

Install the HTTPS module for apt package manager:

Code: (Select All)

apt-get install apt-transport-https

Refresh package sources:

Code: (Select All)

apt-get update

That should be it

**sagher** · 08-09-2018, 09:07 AM

i have Debian 9 x64 installed.
i done one thing. i go to sources.list.d folder and remove all .list files. and again add those lines in sources.list file

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

and after if i do apply apt-get update and its works this time.

E: Unable to locate package apt-transport-https got this error

after this command

apt-get install apt-transport-https

**Mashiro** · 08-09-2018, 12:06 PM

The package "apt-transport-https" exists in Stretch and I know this 100%. It is even listed at the Stretch package database on the Debian site: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/apt-transport-https

So you should be able to install it after running apt-get update easily.

Try to this again:

Code: (Select All)

apt-get update && apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates

For the sake of this forum and making threads readable stop quoting so huge posts. This forum has the mention plugin installed. So you can just use it to reply to me instead of quoting a huge wall of text.

i do copy all log here because whenever i need help on any issue everyone who know the problem will reply that send complete log .. even you too. so thats why i paste command reply completely.

**Mashiro** · 08-10-2018, 10:27 AM

You are misunderstanding something here. It is absolutely alright to provide logs. We need logs as they're the most helpful information we can get to debug a problem. I quoted the log part of your reply instead of the whole reply you made. I quoted this part of the logs because I want to show what exactly needs to be replace with what the new content. That part is absolutely alright.

You however quoted my whole reply that I made to you with the solutions to your two problems from your previous post. If you scroll up you see how large my post actually is because it contains your logs, the new content for sources.list and the solution to fix the errors of the Webmin repository. And if people keep quoting this everytime they reply to a specific part of it then this thread will be unreadable and quickly filled up.

Anyway. We're going off topic when we talk about this here. Check https://post4vps.com/thread-2275.html

Has the last problem been solved? The problem regarding apt package manager not being able to find the apt HTTPS module?

If you wish I can take a look at the server and see if maybe something else is wrong with the package manager apt.

youssefbasha · 08-10-2018, 10:31 AM

I got this problem too.
I would suggest backing up your files and reset ur server then upload the files back

**sagher** · 08-10-2018, 11:41 AM

@Hidden Refuge i am facing new to new problems on different steps. i do open new thread for those because those are different with this thread. i try many tutorial and many entries to resolve the issues but when i fails i do make thread here .because it's my community
