Repos problem...?

#1 Post by MintHawk »

Hello, everyone.
Running 23.6 KDE and when I go to Discover to update packages, it gives the following message:
E: http://mirrors.rit.edu/mxlinux/mx-packages/mx/repo bookworm/main i386 Contents (deb) is not (yet) available (File has unexpected size (884736 != 1279511). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 129.21.171.72 80]

It tells you: File has unexpected size (884736 != 1279511). Mirror sync in progress?


That is likely what is going on.

Wait a while or change mirrors.

@MintHawk @BitterTruth Wait until your mirror has updated or change mirrors with MX Repo Manager.
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

Before you change repo mirrors check here:
https://rsync-mxlinux.org/mirmon/packages.html
Some of them don't update frequently.
