Hello Folks,

I'm trying to install postgresql (and i'm getting the same problems with mysql also). I've tried running apt-get, and also via Synaptics package manager. The problem is that, at some point, the process fails to download some of the required packages, saying "some of the packages could not be retrieved by the server". It then asks me if I want to continue, ignoring the undownloaded packages. I always say No.

Is there some way to re-start the download, without quitting out of the whole installation process and starting anew? I've tried the --missing-packages (or whatever that option is), but it didn't solve the problem.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Ubuntu 10.10 running in VirtualBox 4.0.12 with bridged network adapter
