Error during apt upgrade

capncrunch · 2019-04-29 18:44:23

I recently started getting the following error while running 'apt-get upgrade' on my system. I'm not sure how to go about solving it.

Fetched 2,289 B in 1s (1,177 B/s)
W: Failed to fetch http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/dist … /InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Can someone help me out with fixing this?

When I get to:
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10-no-check-valid-until

I get:
chmod: cannot access '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10-no-check-valid-until': No such file or directory

Is it enough to just create the file and rerun the command?

Don't do that, the echo command before that should have already created it. Try it again and see if it has been created...

echo 'Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "0";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10no-check-valid-until

gives the following commands:

echo 'Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "0";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10no-check-valid-until
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10-no-check-valid-until

Notice the first contains 10no and the second 10-no. Which is correct?

It's the first without the hyphen. I'll fix the Announcement post. Thanks!
