Could not download all repository indexes

[eldafani]

Hi all,

I can't update Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The update manager says:

Could not download all repository indexes

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

GPG error: http://mirrors.softliste.de lucid/ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 51716619E084DAB9Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/sevenmachines/flash/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

Any ideas on how to fix this? Many thanks,
Daniel

In synaptic>repositories try to change server and see it that work.

I changed the server in synaptic-settings-repositories-download from. And still, I got the following error message:

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

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

Any ideas? Thanks.

check your source list , you could have two same source lines , delete any one of them . and try again .

Not so sure if I understand. But the file /etc/apt/sources.lists does not seem to have duplicates, it is posted below:
