[Verified Issue] Error updating packages after fresh installation

kuker · February 14, 2024, 5:18pm

Hi, Parrot community!

I’m unable to update my system and packages after a fresh installation.

Basic info:

New, clean installation on real HW (no VM)
Parrot Security 6.0
Connected via WiFi

What I tried:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo parrot-upgrade
Synaptic package manager

This is the output from the Synaptic package manager:

Hopefully my post doesn’t violate the forum rules, I checked other similar topics, but couldn’t reply to them (they were closed) and I didn’t find a solution to my problem.

R3dp1ll · February 14, 2024, 9:24pm

Did you ever get it figured out? I am having the same problem. [email protected] let me know please

kuker · February 16, 2024, 9:14pm

Unfortunately no solution yet. Still waiting for tips from the more experienced community here.

Masmer · February 16, 2024, 9:21pm

Hi @kuker

This is an issue recently reported. To fix it you will need to edit as root /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out (#) the two lines…

# deb https://deb.parrot.sh/parrot/ lory non-free contrib main  
# deb-src https://deb.parrot.sh/parrot/ lory non-free contrib main

It looks like /etc/apt/sources.list.d/parrot.list is now preferred.

Hello @Masmer and thank you for the help.
However it, unfortunately, didn’t fix the problem.

Updating using Synaptic outputs the following errors:

Updating using sudo parrot-upgrade outputs pretty much the same error. I’m adding it here just in case (to have the complete output from the terminal):

I assume the problem might be with the parrot.list file. In which case that’s an indication that V6 of the OS ships with a faulty mirrors list maybe? I don’t want to make any conclusions, just reminding of the fact that I have a brand new, clean installation on a real HW.

Masmer · February 18, 2024, 6:38pm

Well, I see that repo mirror 139.162.164.97 does not allow https (port 443). I would either change all the https to http and then try sudo parrot-upgrade.

Or try out a different mirror. I’m in the U.S., but found the Italy mirror to be fast. It is possibly the parent repo that the main developer, Lorenzo “Palinuro” Faletra uses, which may sync with other mirrors which sometimes fail.

Wherever parrot.list has

https://deb.parrot.sh/direct/parrot

Replace it with

https://parrot.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/parrot

At least that’s what I do after installing Parrot.

mkpa · February 20, 2024, 3:31pm

Hello!
I’m a new user of parrot
What I’ve done to solve that problem is commenting what wad in parrot.list and then i added Index of /parrot/ lory-updates Inrelease
