Working Repository for Debian 5 Lenny?

edited April 2012 in Help

For some reasons, one of my VPS provider do not have Debian 6 template. I'm having problem to update/install my package. I believe that the repos are outdated and they are throwing 404 errors. The current repos in my sources.list is as below:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security lenny/updates main contrib non-free

Need some help here if anyone have a working repo for Debian 5 Lenny?

    But Lenny is end of life. You should consider dist-upgrading to squeeze.

    Thanks.

    No choice, I got some important files in this VPS. Going to abandon it soon after I migrated my files.

    @yomero why reinstall? Just "apt-get dist-upgrade"

  • DamianDamian Member

    Indeed, that's one of the good things about not being centos: You CAN upgrade to a newer dist!

    Yes, I am just afraid... And also it will left some garbage around u_u Anyway needs cleaning xD

    Btw, recently sysv-rc package (not sure of the name) was ypdated and is asking for moving the boot process to a "dependency based scheme" or sth like that. Someone has problems with this? I haven't accepted in my "production" systems, just to be sure :S

    dependency based booting parallelizes the boot process for faster booting. It may not help any on a one processor system, but it won't hurt.

    It's safe to try. I usually have to fix/remove some old init.d scripts before it will do the conversion, but once that's done it works fine. There is a header at the top of the init.d scripts that is required.

    So, is about the LSB tags, and everything will go fine :P

    I don't agree with you about the "one processor system". Because most boot scripts won't use 100% cpu time, so, still they are able to run "at the same time".

    Btw, what a coincidence, I've read some presentations in your website today :P
