Failure to download certain packages during update

[jorritTyb]

I just tried to update using Synaptic Package Manager. This worked fine for a lot of files but I got this error near the end:


W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/irie/blender/ubuntu/pool/main/b/blender/blender_2.67.a+svn56948-0irie1~precise1_amd64.deb 404 Not Found

What can I do about this?

Thanks!

sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks a lot! That helped. I wonder how one is supposed to know that if you're not used to the commandline tools.

If you only use the GUI, you should not get that problem.

So: how did you get the errors ... via the CLI or via the GUI ... ?

And: read http://eva-quirinius.blogspot.com/2013/03/enrich-your-ubuntu-by-creating-short.html ... it will give you a handy command "sagusagu" that will take care of it ... :-)

Its a PPA, there is no GUI for ppa's.

Didn't use the command line for this one :) Just start with:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/irie/blender/

And keep going down a level until you hit oil :)

No GUI for PPA's? Software & Sources -> tab Other Software.

Your half way there, that won't add a key :)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:<repository-name> is the way to go.

I got that error with the GUI.
