Brien,Thanks for checking that out. I will play around with the KeepSolid repos after they get back to me.I think they may not use repos anymore, as these instructions (https://www.vpnunlimitedapp.com/en/info/manuals/linux ) just have people download the .deb and install it when there is an update. Very strange.Thanks!MarkOn Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 7:10 PM, Brien Dieterle <briend@gmail.com> wrote:You might have to uninstall and reinstall the client if they changed the package names around and stuff. . .On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 6:54 PM, Brien Dieterle <briend@gmail.com> wrote:Actually it looks like it is.

The link itself goes here:
http://apt.keepsolid.com/debian/pool/main/v/vpn-unlimited/vp n-unlimited_4.1_amd64.deb So maybe apt.keepsolid.com is the new apt repo? I can't tell if it should work or not. Maybe they don't support a bona-fide repo anymore.On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 5:58 PM, Mark Phillips <mark@phillipsmarketing.biz> wrote:der.hansThanks for the idea. I took the easy way out - I commented out the line in the file for this repository and then ran apt-get update and it worked with no errors. When I hear back from simplex solutions that they have fixed their repository, I will un-comment the line.Thanks!MarkOn Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 3:11 PM, der.hans <PLUGd@lufthans.com> wrote:------------------------------Am 08.

moin moin Mark,
if the simplexsolutions repo is in its own file, then you can ignore it
for updates. Admittedly, this is one of the few things that's actually
easier with yum.
Here's what I use to get only security updates. You can certainly do
something similar to exclude one file rather than including just one file.
sudo apt -o Dir::Etc::sourceparts=:: -o Dir::Etc::SourceList=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/security.list dist-upgrade
ciao,

I am getting this error when I try to apt-get update
Reading package lists... Error!

When I try to do an upgrade or install I get

I emailed the support folks at simplexsolutionsinc.com (the provider of my
VPN) to see if they can fix the errors at their end.
I assume I could uninstall the VPN from simplex solutions and remove the
ppa from apt, do the upgrade and install the software I need, and then
reinstall the VPN.
Is there another way for me to move forward and do an upgrade and some
installs without removing the VPN software?
Thanks!
Mark
