    Hello, I successfully installed Duvean on my HP Elitebook 64 bit.
    Happy!
    Performed an update through xDaily afterwards.
    Again success.
    However, after reloading Synaptic I get the following message:
    'Could not download all repository indexes'
    And a bit further:
    'The repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/updates Release' does not have a Release file.'
    For more info I refer to the attachment, if that's alright with you.
    Network connection is fine.
    What to do now?
    Thanks!

    hello LPE how are you?

    First I need you to check if the sources.liste doesn't have any errors. use these commands to do it

    cat /etc/apt/sources.list

    check if it's like this

    # Main Repo - main contrib non-free
    deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main contrib non-free
    #deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main contrib non-free
    
    # Security Repo - main contrib non-free
    deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib non-free
    #deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib non-free
    
    # Updates Repo - main contrib non-free
    deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates main contrib non-free
    #deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates main contrib non-free
    
    # chimaera-backports, previously on backports.debian.org
    deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-backports main contrib non-free
    #deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-backports main contrib non-free
    

    if not use this command
    sudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list

    and make the necessary corrections and then save and update the repositories again.

      Hi, I am fine, thank you.
      Performed a re install, I think so, and get the same error.
      See photo mousepad.
      Underneath the lay out of the re install.

      Err:8 is the issue here, no Release file present.

      Hope this helps, but I am tired now off to bed.
      Thanks for your time and sorry for the lengthy post.

      Thanks, admins!

      Don't know if this helps, I didn't have this issue when I installed

    Hi LPE,

    Your sources.list text file is not correct, as it states a matching "deb cdrom" used.

    Compare these sources.list files from a pure Debian Netinstall and a Calamares (PMOS)Devuan and (PMOS) Debian installs.

    Debian

    # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 11.5.0 _Bullseye_ - Official amd64 NETINST 20220910-10:38]/ bullseye main
    
    #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 11.5.0 _Bullseye_ - Official amd64 NETINST 20220910-10:38]/ bullseye main
    
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main non-free contrib
    
    deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
    
    # bullseye-updates, to get updates before a point release is made;
    # see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_updates_and_backports
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
    
    # bullseye-backports, previously on backports.debian.org
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
    
    # This system was installed using small removable media
    # (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
    # entries were disabled at the end of the installation process.
    # For information about how to configure apt package sources,
    # see the sources.list(5) manual.
    

    PMOS Devuan

    See enclosed screenshot from VM copy.
    

    PMOS Debian

    cavy@micro1:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    # This system was installed using PeppermintOS removable media
    # (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
    # entries were removed at the end of the installation process.
    # For information about how to configure apt package sources,
    # see the sources.list(5) manual.
    
    # Main Repo - main contrib non-free
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
    
    # Security Repo - main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.debian.org/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://security.debian.org/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free
    
    # Updates Repo - main contrib non-free
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main
    #deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
    #deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
    
    # bullseye-backports, previously on backports.debian.org
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
    
    # Testing repo used to get software not in the normal repos
    #deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
    
    # Unstable repo used to get software not in the normal repos
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
    
    cavy@micro1:~$ 
    

    The opening line suggests you do not have a genuine copy of PMOS Devuan install, but some sort of hybrid Debian and Devuan concoction. It is definitely not a (PMOS) Devuan install.

    Please perform a rinse and wipe of your donor computer and, download a fresh iso from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/peppermintos/files/ and do a clean and rinse of your USB stick before burning the new iso to your USB.

    Your sources.list file should conform to the above (PMOS) Devuan sources.list file.

      Thanks for your time and input Cavy!!
      Cleaned up the usb and ssd and
      learned another lesson.
      Performed a 'reload' in Synaptic after install and Xdaily update,
      but no errors this time. Happy!
      Feel a bit silly for overlooking this issue which you pointed out,
      but then again kinda fulfilled for fixing it.
      Easy peasy it was.
      Also a big thanks to Manuel Rosa and Peppermint for responding.
      Please mark as solved, admins.

    Please peruse our wiki: https://sourceforge.net/p/peppermintos/pepwiki/wiki%20home%20page/
    for tutorials, tweaks and tips to enhance your install.

    Are you aware of over-provisioning recommendation for SSD's, and that 10% of the drive to be left unformatted.

      Thanks again, and yes, I am aware of this recommendation. (Opinions vary about this subject but that is off topic.)

    Open a terminal and run sudo xDaily if you continue to get those error messages check your sources.list file found at cat /etc/apt/sources.list see enclosed screenshot.

    If it does not mirror my screenshot, the remedy: https://sourceforge.net/p/peppermintos/pepos/sa/thread/3b076ce123/#d57e found here.

    Hi there Cavy. I had an extra line at the bottom of my list that wasn't in the screenshot.

    deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera/updates non-free contrib main

    Logged in as root and deleted the line and it appears to be updating fine now. Thanks for all your help.

      We had to perform Some maint on the peppermint repo server - you should be good to go now. the next time you update that repo it will connect., Probably the same situation on the
      http://www.deb-multimedia.org one as well we don't own that one but just guessing.
      The thing to remember those two are "extra" they are not critical..and they are maintained by just a few people meaning that sometimes outages do happen where as the main devuan and debian repos have way more fallback servers.... if you want to suppress these errors you can comment them out in your sources. it wont hurt anything.,
      Let me know if you have any questions sorry for the trouble

    I can confirm.
    Yesterday evening and today, I can not update synaptic

    However, just as a test, I installed " xpdf " without a problem today

    Hi there Pepppermint OS. Thank so much for your prompt reply. No worries. I understand maintenance has to be done . All working good now. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
