[SOLVED] Error updating ubuntu

[itsols]

Hi,

I just encountered this error while the automatic update on my Ubuntu 7.10 tried to download and install the latest updates. The errors were:

W: Failed to fetch http://lk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/hplip-data_2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1_all.deb
Size mismatch


W: Failed to fetch http://lk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/hplip_2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1_i386.deb
Size mismatch


W: Failed to fetch http://lk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/hpijs_2.7.7+2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1_i386.deb
Size mismatch


Your inputs are highly appreciated!

Me 2!
It says:

All 3 packages have "Size mismatch" error.

Have you tried to change locations and do another "apt-get update"
May even try "sudo apt-get --fix-broken"
Also "sudo apt-get clean"
Then a "sudo apt-get update"

Same problem here. Exactly the same packages.
I tried apt-get clean and update. It does not make a difference.
I am still using 7.10 if thats important.

Same problem here... must be something in the repositories

[Nicu Alecu]

I am still using 7.10 if thats important.
Well, I'm on Gutsy too! It seems that it is important, after all ...
And "sudo apt clean" and the others made no difference, indeed!

Same problem here too. I started a thread @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6219963#post6219963

I am running 7.10, I changed the software sources, but I still get the same error.

Has anyone opened a bug report? I would say there is a problem with the repo.

[Devi 710]

Sounds like the right thing to do Partyboi2, how would one go about doing that? At the Ubuntu Wiki??

Over at launchpad. Click on "Report a bug"

Other people (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=881596) stumbled upon this kind of error on other occasions. But this one seems to be related to Gutsy and it certainly looks like there's a problem in the repos.

PS: it's already been reported @ launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/300418).

Many thanks for your thoughts, all of you. So now I know for sure that it's not a problem with my installation.

It's been fixed; itsols, you should mark this thread as solved.

Yes, this WAS apparently an error with the repositories. But it's perfectly fine now.

Thanks for everyone's inputs.
