Lotsa good answers here, here's another. If you want to preserve your PASS login info you can; -Download latest sources.list http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2000125/sources.list-edit downloaded sources.list as root -copy/paste into current /etc/apt/sources.list -save Choose desired repo When PASS comes online simply change to PASS credentials (provided they remain the same after PASS migration)  |

Back up your PASS credentials. Install apt-sources-list via Synaptic. During installation, your old sources list will be created as an rpmsave file. What is so hard about that? I went to the trouble to create this easy way to update sources list for you guys, and y'all start posting ways to avoid installing the rpm. Why? I tested the bloody thing before sending it to the repo. It works!

Neal, I'm completely with you and did as you said. But to enable me to install I needed a working mirror to update and d/l from... It was like "the car keys are in the car, but the car is locked."  btw,pirate, sorry for hijacking your thread... |

EDIT: the PASS server is not workingAll problems solved, thanks. What I was trying to say was that I could not d/l apt-sources-list as it was not on the pass server. But as I had overwritten my original sources.list with the PASS sources.list, I needed a sources.list (or a repo) from somewhere so I could get to a public repo to d/l apt-sources-list. Once I had changed (after backing up of course) my sources.list following djohnston's hint, I could update from a public mirror and d/l apt-sources-list. So now, Synaptic is set to a public mirror (etz.debian.ch iirc) and after running a full update (which wasn't big as I only needed what had not gone to the PASS server) I installed apt-sources-list which did what it is supposed to: During installation, your old sources list will be created as an rpmsave file. I just couldn't get where I needed to go to d/l apt-sources-list as I had lost (or better thrown away) the "key" (public mirrors). To make it all worse, I had posted back before following djohnston's advice and have created a mess as it seems. Not only was the thread hijacked, but a lot of confusion was created. My bad, sorry for that.  Should have searched better maybe before posting anything. Now, all is fine. Thank you once again Neal, keep up the good work!  EDIT 2: Had I been thinking after reading the first post of this thread I might have figured out myself what to do next.... Oh boy, noob error .....  |

ouch! Sorry Neal ManBear, I didn't realise your script did that since you said to back up your PASS info. Not trying to knock your script. Sorry I misspeled your name.  |
