I'm confused. What steps should I take to fix the bad header messages?

What seems to have worked is to remove experimental from sources and then remove /var/lib/apt/lists/*
Once it worked, I didn't try it a second time.

hello vayu,

yes, after some clean-up of unused siduction repos we have seen this issue.
The majority of users has not even noticed the existence of theese repos.

Sorry for the noise.

greetings

ALf could you please comment on the actual Repos:

There is a posting from 11.9 which the forum-search brings first, with old repos.
The WIki only suggests


Code: [Select]
deb http://packages.siduction.org/user unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/user unstable main contrib non-free

deb http://packages.siduction.org/siduction unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/siduction unstable main contrib non-free

KDE next gave me errors, you comment on a mirror from KDEnext to extra. The wiki has no more "extra" entry.
The suggested settings bring me:

Come on guys. I am confused, and maybe more users are. There are too many different postings!
Please could anybody (if Alf is busy) post an actual siduction and KDE Sources.list

i suppose, the list on http://packages.siduction.org/ should then be updated to reflect the current state of available repositories...

That's the list I used to fix my problem.  Is there a problem with that list?

There's nothing wrong with the list of repos on that page.  Although I think some aren't being used at present.

Edit:  There was a thread somewhere, I looked, I couldn't find it, where some old repos were causing problems with upgrades.  I cleaned up the list, I posted above, after seeing that thread, so, that list should be current. It doesn't contain any of the experimental repos that have been used to test xfce, lxqt, kde etc..

uhm, well... since razorqt repositories have been removed, but the two entries in the list "razorqt" and "razorqt next" are listed and are resulting in the 404 error. if they are still available (but empty),  this error probably should not happen

It was this very thread here only a few postings above, at the end of page one ;-)
Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

If all the above does not help (I switched from packages.siduction to spline), a
Code: [Select]
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && apt-get update will fix it.
