Hi

Try the following

sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock
cd /var/lib/dpkg
mv status status-bad
cp status-old status

apt-get update

after that he can download anything from any server

: Can't dowload http://ftp.lug.ro/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.27-2ubuntu2_i386.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 83.166.201.99 80] to any packages


repaired changed the download server and is updating.


then a new one

Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle
