Update Manager Errors

[HarvMan]

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu desktop 10.04 LTS. For some reason Update Manager is encountering difficulties trying to fetch updates. How can I resolve this issue? Thanks!

Here is a sample:

W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tzdata/tzdata_2011b-0ubuntu0.10.04_all.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/clamav/libclamav6_0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.04.1_i386.deb

etc, etc, etc.

Change your server to the main Ubuntu server, run an "sudo apt-get update" and try again - it should work.

Hi,

Can you please tell me what is the URL for the main Ubuntu server? Thanks!

[HarvMan]

After digging around, the solution was just to go into Synaptic Package Manager (close update manager first) and hit the "Reload" button. Close Synaptic, then run the update manager again.

The update completed successfully!

To change servers go to update manager > settings > Ubuntu software tab.
