Hi, just recently I have experienced problem in updating
and upgrading my Ubuntu 7.10 dist. This is the output when
running "sudo aptitude update"

Can you post the output of:-

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

[Kevbert]

Try using a different download server. Go to System-Administration-Software Sources and select a server near you location. Have you tried
sudo apt-get update instead. Hopefully this should help.

Thanks for the replyes. I have tried different servers, and also
used the "Select best server" feature in Sys-admin-sw sources.

This is my sources.list

Anymore ideas, someone?

Bumping this again. Seems like theres something wrong
with my mysql or bzip2. Just running 'bzip2' gives me this:

bzip2: File 'myisam.log' not found (Errcode: 2)

[PmDematagoda]

Try and reinstall bzip2 with:-

sudo apt-get install --reinstall bzip2

[markusg]

Try and reinstall bzip2 with:-

sudo apt-get install --reinstall bzip2

Hey, thanks for the tip!
Had to manually install the bzip2 deb file, and fix some
broken packages in synaptic. Now i can upgrade again!
