Pengwin: apt update fails to find testing/updates

Created on 9 Jul 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: WhitewaterFoundry/Pengwin

When I run 'apt update' it is not finding the debian-security testing/updates Release.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the command line
  2. Run apt update
  3. See error

Pengwin Version: 1.2.5.0

Windows Build: 10.0.18362 N/A Build 18362

If I comment out the line in sources.list then everything works. I would prefer not resetting everything as this is used by me a lot.

@crramirez -> I ran pengwin-setup on pengwin cli and now my apt update (and ultimately then apt upgrade) works as it should. Thanks for the heads up!

Hello,

Just run pengwin-setup and let it update. Then run it again. It will patch your configuration.

Regards

This seems to be a temporary side effect due to debian buster's transition from testing to stable and the unstable branch transitions to testing. A mailing list has stated that the *-updates repo is changing to *-security and the debian-security line in your sources.list file should be changed to deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security testing-security main contrib non-free

There is more info here:

Never mind, @crramirez's answer solves it.
