I think the stack exchange is a more appropriate place? Mostly since this is not really a bug with the appcenter and Elementary OS, it's a bug in Slack's deb. Similar issue: brave/browser-laptop#6649 |

Issue, you've mentioned is totally unrelated to this. And slack totally unrelated to this. In sake of proof, I've completely removed and reinstalled it ( Problem here with default |

Disclaimer: I'm no expert on this. What's confusing here is that Loki is the Elementary OS version, which is build on the Xenial Ubuntu version. During the installation some thirt party packages will assume you're on a Ubuntu system, check the version, they get "loki" which they don't support. Usually you can replace that "loki" into "xenial" during the installation of third party packages and it all works. I'll let other chime in on whether that issue is related or not. |

Point of this issue is to report that this occurs somewhere in the system with system packages, may be during installation process (since |

@peteruithoven It does sound unrelated, I doubt Slack would be modifying a sources file that doesn't belong to it. @Philosoft I notice your computer hitting some russian mirrors there. What language did you select when installing the system? And have you changed language settings at any point? |

I did not choose, click or do anything here it doesn't matter, as I see it) problem lies with elementary-ppa, which doesn't have any mirrors |

@Philosoft It may not matter but I'm just asking to see what may be different about your setup. I have installed elementary multiple times, upgraded, installed packages (including Slack) and not seen this problem. We have occasionally seen strange unconfirmed issues with the package manager in the past when elementary has been installed in a different language. I will try later to install elementary in a virtual machine following your steps and see if I can reproduce this. A couple more questions:

yes
yes. both of them (autoupdate and install 3rd party)
may be from the start. But for sure, I've noticed it today (less then 20h after installation)
Sadly, I cannot tell this for sure. I was about to try and reproduce it in virtualbox, but strangely, after I launch vbox with elementary.iso attached to it all system hangs and not responding to anything (including any magic with alt+sysrq) |

Thank you for the information, I will look into this and see if I can reproduce the issue. If possible, could you look to see if your installation log files are available in |

Unfortunately, I have been unable to reproduce this issue. I will close this issue as it is not likely to be a problem with appcenter. If you find you are able to reproduce this issue consistently, then please feel free to provide any more information that may be relevant. Thank you again for reporting the issue, I hope any future installations of elementary go smoothly for you. |

@Philosoft sorry, I have to admit I didn't read your comments properly and thought this was another common issue. Why I'm commenting is that I noticed that there seem to be at least 3 questions with similar looking issues on Stack Exchange, all having the following error:
And an old Launchpad issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1629646 |

@peteruithoven erm. first link is mine)) also none of the topics has complete answer (rather then update sources, which I did), none of them resolved, that bug you mentioned still in state Thank you for your feedback anyway) |

Sorry I can’t. I have resolved my issue but I cannot remember how. I think a ppa was not reffering precisely at loki but I have deleted one row and I can now upgrade my elementary. |
I will post it here, since I cannot find chat to ask a question or any specific place to post bugs. Sorry, if it's wrong place to post such bug, redirect me in right direction please.
My setup
Freshly (10.01.2018) downloaded and installed elementary os. No additional PPAs. After installation my work've been:
apt update; apt upgrade; apt install chromium-browser firefox mc pydf grc zsh git transmission; dpkg -i ~/Downloads/slack.deb ; apt install -f; apt autoremoveSo, I have pretty standard system.
Problem
apt updateleads toMy hypotesis
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elementary.listThere should be
xenialinstead ofloki. Same goes for/etc/apt/sources.list.d/appcenter.list/etc/apt/sources.list.d/patches.listTaken actions
I've done this
find /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ -type f -exec sed -i.bak -e 's/loki/xenial/' '{}' \;Then
apt upgrade. Below lies output ofapt upgradeMany packages with names
pantheon-*,switchboard-*,*gala*,*vala*etc, lead me to think, that this is correct decision.Question
Is my actions from previous section is the right ones? Am I safe to upgrade? (I think so). If that's the case - should I report it somewhere else? Make a simple PR? (cannot find related repo though)
