Bug #18334
Updated by Tom Clegg over 2 years ago
In some circumstances, "apt-get update" stops working due to existence of a future debian version. This can break cmd/arvados-package tests. <pre> $ docker run --rm -it arvados-package-deps-debian:10 bash root@7d1560822db7:/# apt-get update Get:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease [122 kB] Get:2 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease [65.4 kB] Get:3 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease [51.9 kB] Reading package lists... Done E: Repository 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'stable' to 'oldstable' N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied.
