Distributions: Failed to fetch...

Created on 28 Jan 2015  路  8Comments  路  Source: nodesource/distributions

Hi, performing the curl command, the script exits after the following error line:

Failed to fetch https://deb.nodesource.com/node/dists/wheezy/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armel/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

As far as i can see, the full node subdir node is no longer existing.

Note to future viewers of this page: you might need to look at files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and comment out any lines that match your error. I had to comment out stuff in nodesources.list.

please try again and reopen if you're having trouble

I have the same issue on my Debian Wheezy installation:

W: Failed to fetch https://deb.nodesource.com/node_0.12/dists/wheezy/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armel/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

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

For those who might find this closed issue seems mips processors are not supported so this is likely why these errors are occurring.


Having same error but different entry binary-mips. Indeed that entry is not in the release file.

I double checked nodesouce.list in my sources.list.d directory and the entries are fine. Just the same as the manual install notes so it's a malformed file??

BTW the entire script seems to run fine. This throws at the final apt-get update of setup script.

Wondering if it is just that wheezy is not really supported. I tried the backport suggestion but I get the same error.

Hey @doug65536,

Would you mind sharing the lines you commented out?

along with the output of lsb_release -a

I tried to get those lines but those filed appear to have been modified by something (presumably apt) since then. Sorry, I should have quoted the lines I commented out when I posted that comment.

Here is my lsb_release -a output anyway:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 15.10
Release:    15.10
Codename:   wily

I have these lines there now, and they work:

deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_0.10 wily main
deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_0.10 wily main
