Repository difficulty

**Claude_Sutton** · October 3rd, 2013

I have recently reinstalled 12.04 and I am having a lot of problems with the repositorys.

I get "badsig" messages. Hash marks not the same. etc.

Not able to ....whatever...xxx repository.

I am having a particular problem getting vim properly downloaded and installed. I get the missing message on some critical file.

Is this a common problem with the latest version of 12.04?

What to do?

Claude_Sutton; Hi ! Welcome to the forum .

No, that is not a common issue. For assistance in your issue, post back to us the command you are using and the exact error message that is generated. Could be the result of several causes.

Place that out put between code tags.

where there are solutions there is no problem

This is what I just got when asking synaptic to download vim.

Code:

W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vim/vim_7.3.429-2ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb
  Hash Sum mismatch

I am using all of the depositories in synaptic, both ubuntu and others.

Claude_Sutton; Hey.

could be your /lists file is messed up .. but let's look at this first>
show:

Code:

apt-cache policy vim
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Just to ensure the foundation is solid to work from.

ain't nothing but a thing

Go through the steps, and if it still doesn't work after Step 5, post the output from all of the commands (again, use code tags because it will be a lot of text).

It worked. I really appreciate the help. I never would have found that on my own. Thank you.
