apt-get -y install ntp gives error Failed to fetch http://security...

[Matt99eo]

Hi,

I am trying to reinstall ntp on some BBB running 3.8.13-bone70  debian wheezy.

When I run apt-get -y install --reinstall ntp I get:

apt-get install --reinstall ntp

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 81 not upgraded.

Need to get 494 kB of archives.

After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

Err http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates/main ntp armhf 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2+deb7u4

  404  Not Found [IP: 128.101.240.215 80]

Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/n/ntp/ntp_4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2+deb7u4_armhf.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 128.101.240.215 80]

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I don't want to run apt-get update -- as this device is running remotely off a 2G slow connection.  

How can I fix this without having to run apt-get update?  

Did my sources.list get too old?  Here is what is in there now:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free

Look at:

http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/n/ntp/

See: ntp_4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2+deb7u6_armhf.deb

wget http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/n/ntp/ntp_4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2+deb7u6_armhf.deb

sudo dpkg -i ntp_4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2+deb7u6_armhf.deb

Maybe this is overkill for your purposes, but when I was working with multiple Pandaboards in a lab that didn't allow them real internet access I used this to set up  "local repos" using a laptop and external USB drive connected and home and then moved into the lab and connected to the isolated local network as necessary:

While the initial setup took over night, keeping it updated wasn't too bad.

Thanks Robert.  Worked like a charm.

Did have to also install libopts25 with 

apt-get -y install libopts25
