vgunn; Hi ! Welcome to the forum !

Try this: Terminal codes: (ctl+alt+t yields a terminal)


sudo rm -fr /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir -pv /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo apt-get update

which removes the probably invalid database and "apt-get update" repopulates the database with current info.



just try'n to help
