400 bad request

[Golivier]

Hi,

Since i've moved to france i can't get any updates or install any programs because i always get an "400 Bad Request". Does anyone know what could have caused this? or how i can solve this? Does it have anything to do with my moving to france?

Thanks!
Olivier

Have you tried going to Software Sources (System>Admin>Software Sources) and on the first tab changed your download server?

Hi,
I just tried your suggestion, but every time i click "select best server" he sends me to another county: first i got the hungarian server and next the servian, agreed, i'm going somewhere, but i still get the same error message

And then it says it will use the old files if new ones are unavailable
Any more advice?

Thanks in advance!

Something is probably blocking your connection.
Go (with your browser) at:
http://rs.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz

Do you get to download a file Packages.gz or do you get an error?

Also, try this (to fix the PPA links and get its gpg keys):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1056099

Lastly, can you post the whole output of these commands:

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list*
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
apt-config dump

Are you behind a proxy server?
