    Re: updates12.04LTS

    Try the below

    Remove the MergeLists
    Code:
    sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
    Re-Download the MergeLists
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Please type the first command carefully - a space between the slashes will cause other files to be deleted!

    Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
