In update manager, I attempt to upgrade and I get the following...

Could not fine the release notes

The server may be overloaded.

What is causing this? I am behind a proxy but have had no issues before with updates.

thanks in advance....

Did you try swithing to some other server preferably Main Server from System > Administration > Software Sources?

Then do,


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade


update-manager -d

Does this command report an error at the end?


sudo apt-get update

And you can also try upgrade from command line.


sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Please post the output.
