[Dyffo]

first, I would recommend clicking the reload button in Update Manager, and then trying to install them again.

let me know how that works out.

I'm also getting an error when trying to update. Just loaded 8.04 and used a package command for getting multibuntu. The error says: Opening the cache (E:TYPE '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list, E: the list of sources could not be read) this usually means that your packages have unmet dependencies.

And my updates don't work now.

Keep it real explicit on how to fix. I just got thing and I don't know much at all.

If I knew where this package is I would go there and delete it. But alas I don't have a clue. :confused:

Thanks

Open the medibuntu.list file for editing:


gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

select all the content and delete it (file should be empty), Save and close.

In the terminal:


sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list



wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
