Hi guys. I am new to proxmox but I have used debian for years. This is something i've never had this problem before. Everytime i've seen a 404 error when doing an apt-get, i've always solved it with apt-get update. But on proxmox apt-get update doesn't fix it..

When installing packages i'll see something like this
Err http://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main fam 2.7.0-13.3
404 Not Found [IP: 64.50.236.52 80]

Then at the end it will eventually fail to install the package I want and say this:
Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fam/fam_2.7.0-13.3_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 64.50.236.52 80]

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Anyone know what's up with this? I didn't have this problem on my other test server which I installed from proxmox-ve_1.5-4627-2.iso
 
I have seen the same thing now and then, both on Proxmox and Ubuntu. I have assumed this is because the repository servers have been too busy. Waiting a few hours and trying again has always been a good enough solution for me.
 
I don't think time has anything to do with it, I just tried and am getting 404 on same packages as I was last night.
 
/etc/apt/apt.conf does not exist on my server

Code: 
prox2:~# ls /etc/apt/
apt.conf.d   sources.list    trustdb.gpg  trusted.gpg~
secring.gpg  sources.list.d  trusted.gpg

yes i can ping and traceroute that ip address

Hi,
you can try another debian-server. Perhaps use for the selction netselect-apt:
Code: 
apt-get install netselect-apt
netselect-apt should find the fastest server for you.

Same error here:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
I tried it at least two days, nothing worked.
Nslookup and ping works. If I replace the URL with the IP, I got the same error.

Code:

4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3004ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 33.565/36.570/43.195/3.885 ms
Is there any solution for this problem?


Btw. apt-get install netselect-apt doesn't work to.
Code: 
E: Couldn't find package netselect-apt
