There is nothing wrong with my connection. Anybody know?

Hi and Welcome,

Go to Accessories > Terminal and run
sudo apt-get update You may have to run it more than once before you connect to your sources. When you can run this with no errors , try the update manager again.

You have a malformed URL to the PPA you're trying to download from. That probably should be:


http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz (http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-win/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz)ubuntu-wine, not ubuntu-win. Ditto for the second one. How did you add that PPA?
