How to force VPS to update to current release?
by I 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Anyone, On a new VPS putting the right entries in the sources.list won't get the current release. apt-get update or upgrade gets with more Ign http://torproject.org tor-experimental-0.2.5.x-precise/main Translation-en W: Failed to fetch http://torproject.org/torproject.org/dists/precise/main/binar y-i386/Packages Undetermined Error [IP: 38.229.72.14 80] Either could someone tell me how to force an update from the very old Ubuntu held one I managed to get or tell me how to get to the current package some other way? Searching for help for Linux without sufficient jargon is hard.

I think this is probably an intentional change associated with Tor 0.2.4.x having been promoted to stable release, and I think you want to replace *all* your existing 'deb ...' lines in /etc/apt/sources.list that mention torproject.org with one of these two: # Tor 0.2.4 official builds deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org precise main # Tor 0.2.5 experimental builds deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org tor-experimental-0.2.5.x-precise main You should need only one or the other, not both. And of course you need Ubuntu's source in there too. (To be clear, this is *not* an issue with your VPS, this is a change to the package server you are using. If this was an intentional change, it sure woulda been nice if it had been announced here, hint hint.) zw

Problem installing latest tor on a raspberry pi (ARM arch).
by aowenson＠neomailbox.ch 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

I was directed to this mailing list by a user on #tor IRC, so I'm hoping it's ok to ask for help here. For the past 2 to 3 months I've been running tor on my pi without any problems. The repository has been great, pulling out the correct ARM binaries, and it setup fine. This morning I tried updating the software, but the step "Checking if tor configuration is valid" fails; there are also 2x seg faults in the terminal output, not sure if this is a repository issue (fetching an x86 binary instead of ARM). The terminal output is here: http://pastebin.com/9Re2jrRe.

i don't know, who knows how tor-weather sends the t-shirt e-mail. i took a look at the code and found that the mail is sent after 1464 hours of uptime (=61 days), checking every hour. according to this the downtime due to updates is really not that relevant. i'd guess that there are approx. 3 or 4 updates in the required 2 months, which would "cost" you an equivalent amount of hours. i don't think that it matters whether you get your mail 3 or 4 hours later. so i think the algorithm is fine.

Dear Colleagues, Since i switched to 0.2.4.19 a few days ago i noticed some strange behaviour. Sometimes the data seems to he corrupted i see on torstatus.info. The atlas data seems to be right though. Afaik only the contact and family data seems to be wrong. https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/3C82285FAC2171FA5178340A82B05F2190AB6… http://torstatus.info/router_detail.php?FP=3c82285fac2171fa5178340a82b05f21… Im not sure what to make of it right now.
