Re: [SOLVED] dist upgrade to excalibur hits only security packages

Did you actually run that sed command?
I copied and pasted from your post #14 and got a file of 1603 bytes.
That is the size of the file in your post #22
I then ran that sed command and got a file of 1598 bytes.
The differences are in removal of space characters on the blank lines.

Perhaps you have different explanation why your file is 1603 bytes?

Re post 23:
host deb.devuan.org will give you a list of addresses it maps to. Running traceroute against each address should let you find the nearest (although the smallest number of hops isn't always the fastest option/best).

Though you probably want to run host address to find what the apparently nearest mirror is.

Re: [SOLVED] dist upgrade to excalibur hits only security packages

I did and the file I tested did not show any change before and after the sed command.
BUT then I marked that one in my vi and pasted it with the middle mouse button into the vi on another machine (remote terminal), assuming it would be "the same", which apparently is a wrong assumption, since with that move you get the mentioned spaces in the blank lines. That is most likely the reason why the file on my machine has a different file size than the one I pasted here.
Lesson learnt and again appoligies to mess this up.

host deb.devuan.org

That perhaps works easier as my long way around. Hope I remember the next time I need that knowledge
