Right sources.list but not updating on Debain 6

I have a Debian 6 VPS which I believe is squeeze, right?

Here's my sources.list file:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
# dotdeb has nginx
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

The strange thing is that I just got Nginx v 1.0.8 downloaded while others have stated that it's been available for a while now.

That looks right, right?

For reference, there's a source.list here and except for the source code lines, it looks the same:

http://library.linode.com/troubleshooting/upgrade-to-debian-6-squeeze

edit: Just to mention it, I commented out the dotdeb lines and ran apt-get update/upgrade but nothing new came down.

    it's not available in the official debian repos. run apt-cache policy nginx with both repos enabled/uncommented to see what you'll be getting e.g. here's my debian 6 vps with repos identical to yours:

    $ apt-cache policy nginx
    nginx:
    Installed: 1.0.8-1~dotdeb.1
    Candidate: 1.0.8-1~dotdeb.1
    Version table:
    *** 1.0.8-1~dotdeb.1 0
     500 http://packages.dotdeb.org/ stable/all i386 Packages
     100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.7.67-3 0
     500 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main i386 Packages
    

    p.s.

    $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
    
    #dotdeb
    deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all 
    deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

  • @drmike I had the same problem recently. I added this to my squeeze sources.list

    deb http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginx
    deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ squeeze nginx

    Didn't think to check the Linode library first.

    Thanked by 2drmike mrm2005
  • DO I have to make any other changes to get nginx to run? I;m real iffy on that as when I went from LEA's script to Xeon's, I had quite a few errors and changes to make.

    Please do me a favor and don't point out misspellings unless it's part of code or it's marketing copy. There are some folks here including myself who have issues with keyboards. Thanks.

    Issues with keyboard? Can you tell more?
