View Full Version : [SOLVED] Cannot update 12.04.04 with apt-get, can't even finish downloading package lists

I have been trying to update our 12.04.04 server for some time without luck. I am in Canada, on our headless server using the 'mirrors' in the config file to get the best server/mirror/connection. Still no luck.

It takes hours and hours just to fail on getting the package lists, doesn't even get to downloading and installing them. Tried to do 'apt-get clean'. Still nothing.

Here is the tail end of 'apt-get update':

tra4d; Hello;

Though I am not familiar with your mirroring system .. I can see 2 problems that the package manager advises of.

1) GPG error:
Re-install the signing key(s):

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6EAF437D05B5

2) Hash Sum Mismatch :
Often caused by corrupted control files:
Try:

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

Where the data bases are removed and in the 'update' process these files are rebuilt.

Could be that

all is good now

Thanks for the reply, tried to reinstall the signing key:

# sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6EAF437D05B5
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.TfKYgndF0G --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6EAF437D05B5
gpg: "6EAF437D05B5" not a key ID: skipping

Also, for the mirrors:
https://mvogt.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/the-apt-mirror-method/

Update: after looking at the list of installed keys using '# apt-key list' I was able to see that there were some extra characters in front of the actual key. Took them off and this command worked. Trying the update again (after removing files as suggested).

tra4d; Uh uhhh ..

Syncing (apt-get update ) the data base should only take a matter of scant minutes.
It may well be above my skill level to isolate the fault. I would at this time terminate the update process:
Key combo ctl+c
And closely examine what the fetch files are:
once more an updated:

cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list
tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

just to make sure there is nothing in the 3rd party directory.

Make sure that we can connect to your respective mirror.

4 deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt precise-security main restricted universe #multiverse

As I do not know what purpose or HOW this mirror works for you; let's comment these fetchs out, and now what results:

sudo apt -get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I do expect that the standard archive " ca.archive.ubuntu.com " will now be in effect. and that the process not only runs but completes.

but hey, what do I know

After letting the last one run (choosing the 'quickest' mirror from the list obtained via the netstat command) it did actually eventually finish!!!

After the apt-get upgrade, I am now at "Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS" which is great. Tried apt-get update again, and it went lightning fast (w/ the same mirror that did eventually/slowly finish). Very strange.

tra4d; Great !

Pleased that the situation is resolved.
Disappointed in that we can not point a finger at the exact causes(s). Networking ? System package install ? Conflicts ?
As the system is now happy will be difficult to triage . If one has the want to know bad enough, the past logs might give a hint on what was not taking place.

Not the 1st time I have encountered where the system healed it's self.
