FYI - I wasn't able to get any updates of late and didn't know why (using a June Snapshot 0810). Possy pointed out a fix:
/etc/apt/preferences - change Pin-Priority to 500
That will be all ;)
Cool- thanks. Two questions
1) Should I change both pins in that file to 500?
2) Should I only do this on the core- or on all of the mds too?
wombiroller,
since i am a beginner to linux,
could u give a more detailed guide how to do this exactly?
and what exactly will there be chanced?
thanks a lot
Raymond

NO - only the 600 to 500

both.
For the record, if you can already do a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade to get the new packages - I don't think you should be playing here....
huh - I only changed the one that was set to 600. Worked for me.
RayBe - open a command prompt and type:
Quotesudo pico /etc/apt/preferences
(pico is a terminal text editor, you can use others like vim but pico might be easier).
You will see this section
# If our local package uses the same version as elsewhere, we take the one we have locally.
Package: *
Pin: origin
Pin-Priority: 600Change it to
# If our local package uses the same version as elsewhere, we take the one we have locally.
Package: *
Pin: origin
Pin-Priority: 500Save the file and retry.
Ok thanks,
If i do this right after the install, before i connect any md, do i still have to do this on the core and the md?
All the best
Raymond
so, I'm wondering what does changing the priority actually do -aside from the fact, that you get packages offered...or what is different with these packages in regards to packages I would get when they are with priority 600?
my question is on the md's the pin-priority is 9999. so still change that to the 500?
This is the preferences file on both my md's
Package: *
Pin: origin
Pin-Priority: 9999
Package: *
Pin: release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=hardy,l=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: 9998

Richard,
core and MD should have the same preferences file.
Thank you,
should have, i understand, but they don't.
Can i just copy the preferences file to the MD's? meaning this will not botch my install?
Richard
Correct
Hi All,
Attached is a list of the errors I am having whilst trying to do an update, I have modified the Pin priority to 500 still getting errors at the end of apt-get upgrade and apt-get update any help would be very much appreciated.....stuck in a rut
Cheers

Beeker - are you running 0810 Beta?
yes
Beeker,
remove the avenard repo from your sources.list. You will still get a couple of not founds during apt-get update, but apt-get upgrade should run through.
Frustrated now, edited the sources.list to fix the avenard issue and I did a update and upgrade and it did a whole lot of updating and funny weborbiter is sort of working but my one and only md now wont play any video files it either says it cant find them or there is a CSS issue. Everything worked prior to updating the core, I had to end up deleting the md just to get it back working at all
Any ideas?
Cheers
Beeker
Good to hear that the update upgrade issue has been fixed for you.
Regarding your MD trouble, you might want to open a new topic.
Hi,
trying to update mainly to get the WO2.0. I guess it didn't go through, since WO2.0 files don't exist.
Was hoping to solve this by changing the priority from 600 to 500, but, I don't have this file /etc/apt/preferences. Avenard repo was not in sources.list.
Any hints how to proceed would be most appreciated.

Okay dokay, I got bunch of help from posde in #linuxmce.
My installation turned out to be a very old one, therefore massively outdated and not really suitable for normal update. It required some sort of package etc magic, I was just repeating the commands instructed. After a few reboots, the system is up and running again.
Thank you for your help, I hope to contribute back soon.
