Error message

[cowboy7305]

can any one help with this error ubuntu 10.04

[Bucky Ball]

What are you attempting to do? Upgrade to 10.04 LTS or upgrade 10.04 to a newer release?

I'm presuming you are doing a release upgrade throught the Update Manager?

Just doing and every day ubdate

[jerrrys]

what happens with

sudo apt-get update

Well, while trying to do you everyday update a package is attempting to get upgraded, thus your error message. This message is generally connected with a release upgrade, though, so are you absolutely positive you aren't inadvertently attempting one???

Try jerrrys' suggestion:

sudo apt-get update

... and post the output it gives when it throws an error back here. You should find some instruction when it crashes in a terminal which will help more than the GUI message; that doesn't give a lot of info. (Pleae use [code] tags for clarity.)

If it makes the update (which from what you say it won't) then attempt:

sudo apt-get upgrade

... which updates apps and packages, NOT the release to a newer one ... post the output of any error messages back here.

You might also want to have a trawl through here:
