[linux-lvm] Debian apt-get link problem

[linux-lvm] Debian apt-get link problem

[Wayne Topa]

  I have been trying to use the link in the LVM Howto by AJ Lewis, and
the DEBIAN.readme in /pub/LVM, to obtain/upgrade LVM on a Debian testing 
box.  The link does not work.  I have been able to ftp to the sistina 
site to get the lvm 9�2 lvm files.

  I just tried the link 
( deb ftp://ftp.sistina.com/pub/LVM/binaries/debian unstable main )
again and am still gettting the same error;
Failed to fetch
ftp://ftp.sistina.com/pub/LVM/0.9/binaries/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages
Unable to fetch file, server said 'Error opening file; No such file or directory.  '

 If there really is a debian package on the site, would someone please 
let me know what the link to it is.

  Oh, and update the Debian.readme file with the correct link.

Many Thanks
Wayne

Well if the Debian maintainer doesn't know I guess it isn't available.
Sorry for wasting your time.

I hate to state the obvious, but apt does not Debian make.  Try
manually downloading the *.deb files and installing them manually with
dpkg -i <pkg.deb>.

I've been out of the loop a little on the Debian LVM packages, but
I've got a few patches to hand in that might be useful.  Problem is
that my workstation is out of commission until I can find the time
next week to reassemble it.

Anyway, good luck!

Thanks.  Yes that is what I did do, but when both the docs had the
apt-get sources address, which didn't work, I thought I was doing
something wrong.  I don't rely on .deb files, just use apt-get when
there are files available.

Happily running the latest version of LVM, without having used
apt-get.

I've removed the info about using apt-get from the README.Debian on the ftp
site.  The HowTo no longer contains this information.  Sorry for the
confusion.  :(

Thanks for the reply. 

Good Idea to remove the link, I think.

BTW, that a great HowTo!
