Hi,
I just re-installed Ubuntu 7.10 and saw that 8.04 was available for upgrade. I decided to upgrade but it has been a pain so far. While the upgrade was taking place a warning came up telling me that update manager was unable to be updated, ironically. Whenever I try to use update manager it shows no upgrades and the message "It is unknown when the packet information was updated last. Please try clicking on the 'check' button to update the information." When I do this it shows a progress bar and the message that is downloading 24 packages but it always freezes on 15. I now however am unable to download any programs using the install and remove applications utility. I have tried re-installing the update manager but to no avail and when using the apt get commands in the terminal I get the same lack of success. Does anyone have any ideas to help?

HI and was the 7.10 version updated before the upgrade to 8.04? Could you post the output of the commands in the terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Hi,
7.10 was according to the update manager fully updated before I installed 8.04 like it instructs you to do. The only thing showing in the update manager was the option to upgrade to 8.04. Anyway here are the outputs for the above commands.

sudo apt-get update

Ok have you tried and change the location of the server in system, administration, software sources.
