Running linuxcnc wheezy 2.7. Freshly installed from the website.
when using sudo apt-get update I am getting the error
Code:
W: Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/contrib/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 64.50.236.52 80] W: Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/non-free/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 64.50.236.52 80] W: Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 64.50.236.52 80] W: Failed to fetch http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 130.89.148.13 80] W: Failed to fetch http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/contrib/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 130.89.148.13 80] W: Failed to fetch http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/non-free/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 130.89.148.13 80] W: Failed to fetch http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 130.89.148.13 80] W: Failed to fetch http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/contrib/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 130.89.148.13 80] W: Failed to fetch http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/non-free/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 130.89.148.13 80] E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Before I also had an error with
Code:
Release file for http://archive.debian.org/debian-security/dists/wheezy/updates/Release is expired

but fixed it with adding a file to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
file: 10no-valid-until
text: Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "0";

I also get an error when using find best server it tells me that there is no suitable server.

It seems that the problem might be that the selected mirror does not mirror the archive versions.

I strongly suggest at least trying the Debian 9 / Stretch uspace version of LinuxCNC if doing a fresh install.

@flexbex
You are now my favorite geek of all time. The 10no-valid-until file did the trick of passing the Release is expired (or so it seems),
I have now been able FINALLY to install Geany

:p In the name of all silly, why does LinuxCNC pack all of Libreoffice but NO decent plain text editor? :p
Anyway, much gratitude to LinuxCNC developers, even so. Having much fun.

I might even be able to fix a few more things that I had learned to live with.

Thank you again. Hope your problem gets solved also.

There is also a remastered Mint 19.2 version that has Linuxcnc installed & geany, as that's my 2nd favourite text editor....I kinda prefer the editor that comes with midnight commander for general use.
