Just today I’m getting errors when trying to install software via apt in Debian 13. Specifically ardour and gnome-boxes. Other packages seem to be unaffected, like gimp and blobwars for example. The errors are all variations of the following:

Err:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/main amd64 libwebsockets19t64 amd64 4.3.5-1 404 Not Found [IP: 151.101.62.132 80] Error: Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libw/libwebsockets/libwebsockets19t64_4.3.5-1_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 151.101.62.132 80]

Looking online the suggestion seems to be that I might have /etc/apt/sources.list misconfigured. Is it this causing the problem, or something else?

Here is my sources.list

# deb cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 13.0.0 _Trixie_ - Official amd64 NETINST with firmware 20250809-11:2>

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main non-free-firmware 
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main non-free-firmware 

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security main non-free-firmware 
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security main non-free-firmware

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie-updates main non-free-firmware

# This system was installed using removable media other than
# CD/DVD/BD (e.g. USB stick, SD card, ISO image file).
# The matching "deb cdrom" entries were disabled at the end
# of the installation process.

# see the sources.list(5) manual.

Any advice?

Thanks!

    This is almost always the issue. Apt is not like yum and pacman, you must first run apt update or it will inevitably fall out of sync with the current packages when you try to run install or upgrade, etc.
