Synaptic Can't Update

#1 Post by Zak MCKracken »

I got this error when updating the OS...

W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.siena.edu/debian/pool/mai ... 3_i386.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 199.223.246.113 80]

Can this be fixed?

Use Repo Manager in MX Tools to change your main repository to the one in Salt Lake City, Utah. Then reboot / log out & log in and then try to update again.

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

That's a debian mirror, not an MX mirror - and the operator has decided to not include any i386 packages. You'll have to select another debian mirror.

I just checked this site against Debian's mirror list and Debian doesn't have a mirror there.

So it's an unofficial one for amd64 only. Anybody can setup a mirror - looks like Siena college did.
