If all updates get installed right after installing gNewSense 2.3 then Software Sources shouldn't have the Icecat checkbox. If the Icecat box is checked first then the problem you describe occurs. If unchecking the box doesn't make the error disappear then running 'apt-get -f install' in a terminal might.

We could avoid this error by releasing a new installation CD which doesn't have the checkbox. However, we expect users are more interested in installing the next version than in the current release. So we focus our attention on getting the next major version out.

Thanks for following up on this.

2: I.e. a solution is to reinstall deltah from EMPTY partition.

1) As I already described, unchecking the box does not solve all problems.
2) The only solution I found is to reinstall deltah from a clean partition and to never touch this checkbox.

Thank you for your reply.

The GNU Icecat checkbox was removed in the latest version of Software sources. The GNU Icecat packages came from an external repository that no longer builds them for gNewSense 2. I recommend to uncheck the box. Does that solve your problem?

When enabling the icecat repository checkbox:

application: Synaptic
menu item: Settings/Repositories
dialog: Software sources
tab: Updates
checkbox: [v] GNU Icecat (deltah-icecat)
button: [Reload] clicked
downloads progress dialogs occur;
then message appears after them:

[[[
Could not download all repository indexes

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

Approximate translation back into English from Russian:

GPG error: http://gnuzilla.gnu.org deltah-icecat Release: The following signatures cannot be verified, since the common key is inaccessible/not available: NO_PUBKEY B302120208A255AFFailed to download http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/debian/dists/deltah-icecat/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
Haven't downloaded some of index files, they were ignored or old versions were used instead of them

***

Additionally, at Update Manager dialog, when clicked a button "Install Updates", a message appears:

"Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first."

***

Further.

When icecat is unchecked at Synaptic Settings/Repositories and Reload is clicked, no GPG error is triggered.

Further, when Check button is clicked at Update Manager application, and Install Updates button is clicked, the same message ***still appears*** about broken packages.

I tried Check/Install Updates a few times, the same result.

***

Two questions:

1. How do I fix Update Manager so that it works again?
2. How do I fix the icecat GPG key issue above?

***

When I do 'aptitude update', it goes smoothly and OK.
