Update problems (package fails)

[timmyhiggy]

Hi

Whenever I do an update using update-manager, it says "failed" next to all the "translation_en_GB" packages.
I tried doing a command line update and here is what is says:

You can see that kind of things from time to time.Nothing to be worried about.You didn't update language packages.You can live without that.

[timmyhiggy]

It's been like it for quite a few weeks now. Is there a way of making update ignore it? Cos it takes ages!!

[slakkie]

Remove the repo which is slow.. ?

[zvacet]

Under system>admin>software sources change server to main.Maybe that will help.

I'm also affected... translation GB lines also failing.

I am scared. Will my machine break if I tell it to collect updates...or WHNE WILL IT WORK AGAIN?!

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

When is this going to be fixed?

There's a problem with the medibuntu repos:
