After the update manager supposedly downloads all the updates I get these 2 messages:


Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s).
Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?

after clicking yes:


W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-core_3.0.1-9ubuntu3.1_i386.deb
Hash Sum mismatch

I tried switching from local servers to the main servers but got the same results...

can anyone help?

Are you still really using 7.10, which I thought had lost its support earlier this year?

Nope... I use 9.04

Open the terminal and try:


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

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

This is what i get...

I tried with --fix-missing as it suggested, got this:


Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-core_3.0.1-9ubuntu3.1_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch

any other thoughts?

Hmmm... Fixed itself somehow...
Thanx for all the help!

I had the same problem. I fixed it by changing to a different mirror server. I wonder if some of the mirrors aren't completely in sync with Karmic. Had a ton of updates to do.

I have the same problem... :(

I ran sudo apt-get update and it went well, but with sudo apt-get upgrade it said:
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
What is the --fix-missing command? I'm new at Linux and it doesn't do anything on the terminal.

Any help? please?
