Hi all,

I am new to Deepin, but I really like what I see so far. My biggest concern is the Software Center.

I am running Deepin 13, and I ALWAYS have errors when I try to update the packages. I have tried several different repositories, yet always get the same issue.

I am in Kentucky, and here are the error messages when I try to update the package list. I am currently using the James Madison servers, but I get similar problems regardless of the mirrors.

=======================================
W: Failed to fetch ftp://mirror.jmu.edu/pub/ubuntu/dists/r ... 6/Packages  Unable to fetch file, server said '/pub/ubuntu/dists/raring-updates/restricted/binary-i386/Packages: No such file or directory.  '

W: Failed to fetch ftp://mirror.jmu.edu/pub/ubuntu/dists/r ... 6/Packages  Unable to fetch file, server said '/pub/ubuntu/dists/raring-updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages: No such file or directory.  '

W: Failed to fetch ftp://mirror.jmu.edu/pub/ubuntu/dists/r ... 6/Packages  Unable to fetch file, server said '/pub/ubuntu/dists/raring-updates/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages: No such file or directory.  '

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
=======================================

When I try the main repository, I get the following :

W: Failed to fetch http://packages.linuxdeepin.com/ubuntu/ ... 6/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 202.141.160.114 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://packages.linuxdeepin.com/ubuntu/ ... 6/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 202.141.160.114 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://packages.linuxdeepin.com/ubuntu/ ... 6/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 202.141.160.114 80]

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

=======================================

I am frustrated because I really want to give this a go, but if it is not possible to add software, then I can't justify using this.

I get the same errors if I try to use apt-get on the command line. There is also no box I can check for the best mirror in the preferences of the software center.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Mike

Because ubuntu 13.04 has been EOL(end of life). Deepin 2013 is based on ubuntu 13.04, and ubuntu has removed the repo of 13.04, so you can't download any packages from this repo any more. You can install deepin 2014, which is support for 5 years.

The ubuntu mirror source of Deepin 2013 has been deleted by ubuntu, so you have problem. Please install Deepin 2014.
