I have just downloaded an image of raspbian and installed it on my new model 2

Its been a while since I was last on this forum but I am having trouble with aptitude. I am an experienced debian user, so I am reasonably happy with most aspects of using the OS.

BUT, attempting to install git and aptitude tells me ...

Code: Select all

It this a temporary glitch or something that I am doing wrong?

I have the following in my /etc/apt/sources.list (unchanged)

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi

Have you remembered to do:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

first ??

I think it must be a problem with the package list files

Looking directly into the repository there is a libcurl3-gnutls but it is version 7.38.0-4+deb8u3 and the package list says it wants version 7.38.0-4+deb8u2

Who do I tell about this?

Its more subtle than I first thought. I have an sd card I took from the device this morning which I had loaded git on successfully, and that has a package file that contains the correct latest version.

So I also loaded the package list from the repository, and that matches what I took from the sd card.

It looks like my package lists have got stuck in some way!

I must have corrupted something. I have deleted all the package lists (and the contents of the partial directory) and now its all working again fine

Not only can I install git, its doing a load of updates to everything
