Problem accessing 8.1.1 updates repository on Debian Sarge

[micmac@]

Hi, I'm having a problem with plesk
for linux 8.1 updater's

There's that 8.1.1 release available
but when I click on it, it says:

Erreur : The "sarge" package repository is not accessible. For this reason, the proper installation of Plesk is impossible. Please edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list to make this repository accessible..

When I try to update the packages in
console mode, the apt-get utility says
that the 8.1.1 repository is ignored (Ign)
I assume you locked it while updating
your packages.

So I can not upgrade to the next version
neither can I update or install other
plesk components. I heard there was
a problem linked with the new Debian
release, but when will your repository
be fixed ? I need to install some
componnents and it's starting to be
quite urgent now.

Regards,
F.M.

Too many people were having issues with the recent upgrade from sarge to etch. If you've got sarge as your release in the /etc/apt/sources.list you're fine, but if you have stable in there, an upgrade will render your system useless and may need you to reinstall depending on how bad it brakes it.

so have you tried to specify 'sarge' repository instead of 'stable' or 'etch' in sources.list, as the errors say?

I have the sarge repository specified, but for plesk's updates only.

here is the content of my source.list:

#deb http://debian-mirror.dedibox.fr/debian/ stable main
#deb-src http://debian-mirror.dedibox.fr/debian/ stable main

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main


deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ stable main

deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/PSA_8.1.0 sarge all
deb http://autoinstall.plesk.com/debian/PSA_8.1.1 sarge all


The first "stable" lines were already present in my distrib, so I did let them. Is there some conflict with those?
I thought plesk would only update using the last ones (autoinstall.plesk.com).

In fact, when I do apt-get update, it says the repository is ignored:

Atteint http://autoinstall.plesk.com sarge/all Packages
Ign http://autoinstall.plesk.com sarge/all Release

("Atteint" means "reached" in French).
So it seems it is ignored, although it is set for "sarge".

Ok I changed the other upper lines from "stable" to "sarge" instead, and did an apt-get update/upgrade from the console.

It seems it updated the good packages, and now plesk's updater work.

I'm still watching for your comments though

It seems my plesk was installed on a "stable" debian version, that was Sarge
at the moment, but since it changed there was trouble.

I guess changing the lines above fixed the
problem.

But should I leave these lines :

deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ sarge main

Or keep only the autoinstall.plesk.com ones ?
