Silly Questions - Debian APT on PBS?

[iprigger]

Hi All,

It might be intentional... but....

Why is it that I can't install other software using apt-get install <DEB-Name>?

root@pbs:~# apt-get update
Hit:1 http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Hit:2 http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://security.debian.org buster/updates InRelease
Hit:4 http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs buster InRelease

Package snmp is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Package snmpd is not available, but is referred to by another package.

E: Package 'snmpd' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'snmp' has no installation candidate

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks!

no, looks like you apt sources are broken (ch mirror issues)? try another mirror.

Looks like ch is broken, indeed.... (aaargh, now I have to change the sources.list on ~300 nodes. bugger!)

Looks like ch is broken

contact the maintainer of the mirror, they should fix it.

and check http://deb.debian.org/
