Debian 6 "Squeeze" Long Term Support

On 2014-05-31 regular support ended for Debian 6 "Squeeze", however Debian recently announced they are trialling Long Term Support (LTS) until 2016-02-06.

If you do not have a Gold or Platinum support contract with CWCS, you will need to alter the configuration of your server to enable the LTS updates.

Configure LTS Updates

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following lines for binary and source packages:

deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze-lts main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze-lts main contrib non-free

You should also have the following enabled for LTS updates to work correctly:

deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian squeeze-lts main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian squeeze-lts main contrib non-free

Finally, you should also check /etc/apt/apt.conf

If it contains the following line:

APT::Default-Release "squeeze";

Comment it out, or replace with:

APT::Default-Release "squeeze-lts";

Run Update and upgrade

Run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to update and upgrade your system
