apt-get warning and error

[geohei]

Hi.

When updating my BeagleBone Black running Debian 8, I get this here:

    root@bbb-one:~# apt-get update

    E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

sources.list shows:

    deb [arch=armhf] http://repos.rcn-ee.com/debian/ jessie main
    #deb-src [arch=armhf] http://repos.rcn-ee.com/debian/ jessie main

It's in an operational environment, hence I cannot test a lot.

What do the W: and E: messages mean and how do I get rid of them?

 

Thanks,

Quick Answer, "disable" [deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/
jessie-updates main contrib non-free], it's no longer needed for
"jessie"
