Apt sources.list problem? Trouble getting packages. Are things moving to Crimson?

Hello. I just reflashed my phone (again) to deal with an ongoing battery suspend issue (again). The reflashing has not fixed the problem (again). I flashed the phone with the unencrpyted image of PureOS for the Librem 5.

Also, I have a new issue, Apt is not finding packages I previously was able to get. For instance, I tried installing ‘pip’ as a package in Apt and I receive the following message:

purism@pureos:~$ sudo apt install pip

It looks like the repo does not have the package - which I find odd. I also tried installing VLC and that is missing packages in the repo as well. What is going on?

I checked the Apt souces.list and it all looks normal to me. Here is the output:

deb Index of /pureos/ byzantium main
deb Index of /pureos/ byzantium-updates main
deb Index of /pureos/ byzantium-security main

Any help?

sudo apt update

Yes, I did. Can you install VLC, for example?

I have only recently received my L5 and am taking things slow and also don’t have a lot of time to spend with it.

I have only installed ssh and I think I didn’t even need to do update first.

Execute:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

and then sudo apt update and retry.

Make sure it’s spelled EXACTLY this way, with no additional spaces or other characters anywhere.

Thank you very much. Where did I go wrong?

Also, I very much appreciate your time and expertise in these forums. Your help is appreciated by all of us. You are an invaluable resource.

You didn’t. It’s a known bug with still unknown cause. For some reason, sometimes apt thinks the downloaded package lists are up-to-date even though they aren’t, so it doesn’t download fresh ones.
