Hi experts. as you all know i have some critical issues in past with my OS. and i reinstall it as suggest. but after a month i try to use again apt-get update and upgrade command and found these issues. 

Code: (Select All)

Err http://ftp.debian.org jessie-updates/main amd64 Packages
  404  Not Found
Err http://ftp.debian.org jessie-updates/contrib amd64 Packages
  404  Not Found
Err http://ftp.debian.org jessie-updates/non-free amd64 Packages
  404  Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-updates/contrib/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-updates/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

what does it means?

[Mashiro]

Error 404 (Not Found) means that the file(s) or folder(s) that the APT package manager was looking for are no longer existing on the server.

And the current situation on the server is indeed how the error describes it. The directory "jessie-updates" doesn't exist on that Debian package server mirror. There is only the folder "jessie".


The reason for that is most likely that Jessie has become "Oldstable" now. Meaning it is being kind of archived as Debian "Stretch" 9 is the latest stable Distro. What that means... of course they're reorganizing the mirror servers.

You need to update your /etc/apt/sources.list with new mirrors from https://pastebin.com/RBQV42Uh

@HR i got sources.list content from your given link and paste it after taking backup of old one. and then make again update command and it's looks like error are become more then before.

@sagher
i would like the output of 'uname -a'

also comment out all the source links. you dont need them. then purge cache and run again. 'apt-get clean'

also check
/etc/resolv.conf

it should have good name servers. like

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 1.1.1.1

ensure that. then check
'ping google.com'


also make sure port 21, 53, and 80 are open in firewall.
may be do a 'ufw disable' and then try.

replying from mobile. so didnt notice the hits. you dont need to do what i said above. Just keep the links that is successfully connecting and comment out others. I mean all those with error (E) and ignored (Ign). Also commeng out thd source links. src

next clean it.

apt-get clean

now run update.

[sagher]

@rudra the problem is in sources.list all other you said i already done. all ok.

[rudra]

@sagher
i checked all your outputs and then edited the above post accordingly. please do it. thanks

[Mashiro]

Actually, I have no idea what the heck Debian developers are currently doing but so far pretty much any mirror lacks the "oldstable-updates" / "jessie-updates" folders and the "jessie-backports" folders. So about this sources there isn't much you can do other than comment out all lines that have jessie-backports, jessie-updates or oldstable-updates in them.

The sources.list should look like this after that:

Code: (Select All)

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

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

Run apt-get clean all after that and then do apt-get update. See if there are still any errors.

God knows what exactly is happening on the mirror servers that the "oldstable-updates" / "jessie-updates" and "jessie-backports" repos aren't available at the moment.

Now as the final solution i update my sourses.list as given and clean all command then update command. and now there is no error up again. thank you @HR.
