Lubuntu 12.04, I started synaptic and did
install all updates

and got the following errors:



W: Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager-applet/libnm-gtk-common_0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2.2_all.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.176 80]

Please what should I do to get round this? Is there a log file somewhere that I should post? thank you.

Try (from the Terminal):


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

That is a different error to your first reply.

Open Software Sources and disable Launchpad PPA as a source and see if that fixes the problem.

Good Luck
