Hello Guys/Gals,

Just installed 10.4 and I am trying to get all my favourite software (i.e GIMP) installed.

I tried to update my repositories but got an error "Could not connect to za.archive.ubuntu.com".
I am South African based, refer to terminal output below.

Q: Please help me get apt-get working.

Hi,
have you tried to achieve what you intend simply by doing this:

Go to System - Administration - Software sources and on the first page check the "Download from" Server. When in doubt (and in ZA) use "Main Server", or click "other" and perform the tests to find the best Server for your location.
Then open Synaptic (System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager) and find Gimp through the quick search and mark and apply it?

I don't see why you would have to fumble with the Sources.list and so forth simply for updating and installing GIMP.

Maybe this helps?
Enjoy!
:P

Thanks, I am now using the Main Server.
