<div class="">> By the way, is it ok using ubuntu mirror to update a machine running debian<br>
<br>
</div>No. Ubuntu is based on debian but there are several differences. For<br>
example the init system is different. Ubuntu is using upstart, Debian<br>
sysvinit.<br>
<br>
It will anyway not work: Already the section naming within the<br>
repository is mostly different.<br>
If you force it you will brick your system.<br>
<br>
Several debian packets can be used with ubuntu or vice versa. Mainly<br>
packets with architecture independent content like scripts but this is<br>
not a general valid.<br>
Binary packets not statically linked will mostly not work.<br>
Debian 7 is built with gcc 4.7.7 and libc6 2.13, Ubuntu 13.10 is built<br>
with gcc 4.8 and libc6 2.3, 12.04 is using gcc 4.6.3 and libc6 2.15.<br>
Dynamic linked binaries built with a different compiler and linked<br>
against different lib versions are usual not exchangeable. They will<br>
crash with a Segmentation fault.<br>
It is like Fedora and RHEL/CentOS: They are similar but different.<br>
<br>
The habari mirror is not a real mirror is a proxy cache. It can be used<br>
with any distribution using apt and .deb archives.<br>
To use it add to /etc/apt/apt.conf<br>
<br>
Acquire::http { Proxy "<a href="http://deb-mirror.habari.co.tz:3142" target="_blank">http://deb-mirror.habari.co.tz:3142</a>"; };<br>
<br>
Is aptus reachable through the IXP? Miku, then it would be fine to<br>
change the Ubuntu upstream for deb-mirror to aptus. The upstream for the<br>
security updates I would keep at <a href="http://security.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">security.ubuntu.com</a> to ensure there is<br>
no time delay getting security updates.<br>
