Looks like not all the files on my repositories any more as you see below.

Failed to fetch http://update.onlinehome-server.info/ubuntu/pool/main/libs/libsndfile/libsndfile1_1.0.21-2ubuntu0.10.04.1_amd64.deb  404  Not Found
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Just wondering whats the best ones to add that are safe and will not break my web server? I'm guessing I add them to bottom of the sources.list

Cheers

would it be fine to add to get it to work?

Typically, if individual packages are giving 404s, your Packages lists are out of date and you need to run apt-get update to refresh them.

If that isn't the case, then the repo you're using has probably gone away or is otherwise badly mismanaged. In general, I only have two sorts of repos in my sources.list:

  • The ones for the distribution and release I'm using (regular and security updates); and
  • A local repo containing rebuilds and backports of packages for which I'm running updated or locally-modified versions, which I've built myself.

Random repositories create far too much risk to be a professionally prudent option.

  • I've done a apt-get update and still the same error – Grimlockz Jul 26 '11 at 11:56

    Oh well, the repo's probably gone to god. Why are you using such a random crackpot repo anyway? – womble Jul 26 '11 at 12:01
  • god knows... I'm just a little lost on the best way to add new ways to the list for the right version of ubuntu. What are the best to add for a live production server? Cheers – Grimlockz Jul 26 '11 at 12:07

  • "god knows"? Bugger that, *you* should know, *you're* the admin. The best to add for a live production server are those I listed in my answer. – womble Jul 26 '11 at 22:07
