      As I saw there is a new release of antiX (17.4.1) I ran apt update to see if there was anything I should upgrade.

      As I did upgrade a few days ago, there was nothing, but something called my attention, both the last time I ran apt update (a few day ago, as I said) and now. There were errors in the update output.

      Everything was OK until I got:

      Err:8 http://mirror.adct.be/mx/antix/stretch stretch/main i386 Packages
        404  Not Found [IP: 51.68.176.172 80]

      Then, there several were more lines with no problem, and, in the end, there was this:

      Fetched 668 kB in 25s (26.7 kB/s)
      Reading package lists... Done
      W: The repository 'http://mirror.adct.be/mx/antix/stretch stretch Release' does not have a Release file.
      N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
      N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
      E: Failed to fetch http://mirror.adct.be/mx/antix/stretch/dists/stretch/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 51.68.176.172 80]
      E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

      I ran this in an eeePC 900 (32bit system), with 2GB of RAM.

      Is this relevant or anything I should be concerned about?

      I have been using Linux for a long time, but only as a desktop user, but I’m just a regular user, without any technical knowledge.

      All the best.

        Mexico repo is no longer working.
        Use repo-manager to select another.

        Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

        antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

          Thank you, anticapitalista!

          I changed mirrors, using the Repo Manager, then, I tried three different mirrors:

          Anycast Wordlwide – https://mirrors.evowise.com/mxlinux-packages (which the repo manager said would be the fastest for me)
          Brazil, São Paulo – https://sft.if.usp.br/mx-workspace (which is geographically closest)
          Canada, Default antiX – https://repo.antixlinux.com (just because I thought it made sense)

          In all of them, I got another error message (different from the previous one, though, I guess that’s some progress).

          W: GPG error: http://repo.antixlinux.com/stretch stretch InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG DB36CDF3452F0C20 antiX (antix repo) <antix@daveserver.info>
          W: The repository 'http://repo.antixlinux.com/stretch stretch InRelease' is not signed.
          N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
          N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

          It seems like an authentication error, common to all three mirrors. I do not have the knowledge to know if it’s really a problem, but,as in the previous message, I thought it made sense to report it.

          Thanks again!

                The gpg error in your output looks like you stumbled over the expired key, which you can fix

                https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/expkeysig-error/

                What’s wired about it is, you say you are using antix17.4.1 and this version should already have a fixed key.

                Edit: I misunderstood, you wanted to upgrade to 17.4.1

                  Thanks, guys!

                  The gpg error in your output looks like you stumbled over the expired key, which you can fix

                  https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/expkeysig-error/

                  That solved it!

                  It was, of course, my fault. I had seen the EXPKEYSIG error and fix post it’s the top post in the forum, but had no idea what it referred to.

                  Thanks again!
