Making APT work again is probably not that difficult but in the meantime you might work to manually download the .deb file for the wheezy kernel (and udev and any other critical package) and install them with dpkg. | |

| Aug 11, 2015 at 5:38 | comment | added | folibis | Both aptitude and apt-get work without problem. But there is some crap that block it. It looks that it's some version misunderstanding. aptitude update updates all source as I see. But apt-get upgrade says: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. And so if I try to install any package it say: Package *** is not available, but is referred to by another package | |

You can add tools and scripts, but major upgrades should be done by the hosting provider so that things like this don't happen. If aptitude doesn't work your only option is to reinstall. | |
| Aug 11, 2015 at 3:49 | comment | added | saiarcot895 | Considering you still have aptitude, can you run aptitude update and see the output? | |
| Aug 11, 2015 at 3:48 | comment | added | saiarcot895 | stable always tracks whatever is considered the stable release at the moment (or whenever you last updated your packages). If you had just done apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, you would have moved to Jessie. Also, reverting to an older release isn't guaranteed to work by any measure. | |
| Aug 11, 2015 at 3:46 | comment | added | eyoung100 | Not without a package manager. apt-get is crucial and you've hosed it. | |
| Aug 11, 2015 at 3:44 | comment | added | folibis | Ah, this answer is preferable in Windows section, not Unix :) Sure, I know about this option bit there are too many files over the system, I just cannot do that. Also I think that have to be some way to repair my system without reinstall it. | |
