Package Manager & Update Manager problems

[my real name is steve]

You've got repos from Debian, DreamLinux, and Ubuntu all on one machine! Yikes! D=

That's defintiely causing the problems. The fact is, if you want to use Ubuntu repos, you pretty much have to use Ubuntu (or a derivative). There are tons of changes in some packages in Debian that aren't all compatibile with Ubuntu's pacakages, and that's cauing the conflict.

I have done this before, and right now no errors at all since I last posted this.
would you be willing to take a look at what I do have set up and tell me step by step what I CAN do to keep what I have already and 1} update the 12.04 ubuntu security script in etc/apt/sources.list 2} keep the conflits to a miimum ?

I also cannot find the script marked deb hllp://partners.canocal.xxxx.net that goes in /sources.list and the one that goes right under it in the old ubuntu versions. - I'm not sure if these are still used in this file since oob 7.04. ??

I had firefox runnining in this set up with DreamLinux 4 and oob and some other goodies, no luck here and I see oob has departed pretty far from Debian 7 Wheezy in some respects, but I'd like to get this as close to stable and pretty as I can, if you don't mind helping.

Thank you!

I honestly can't. I don't have any experience with this sort of thing, and we can't offer any support for non-Ubuntu OS. You might be able to find support through a different venue (a Debian or DreamLinux forum), but this is completely outside of my support scope.

Yoh I'm not on System 76 but on Ubuntu (irrelevant I know) but thank you anyway for the suggestion on rebuilding cache. Worked perfectly!

Excellent thread and thanks @ 2F4U for

cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get update

This will rebuild the cache.

It worked for me running 11.04 on a Samsung RV511 laptop

Have you tried running the commands in a terimal:

cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get update

This should help out a lot.

Your sources.list is empty?

Honestly, the best option for you right now is probably to reinstall Ubuntu. That will fix your package manager.

re installing is not an option and its not a solution ... there must be a way
