    help repositories downloading then failed to fetch

    hello.. i tried to add extra repositories on my ubuntu 6.06.. i followed the instructions from editing my sources/list to finally typing
    wget -q http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
    sudo apt-get update
    at the terminal and this is what happened.. at first there were 'err..' and 'could not resolve..' lines but then i think the process proceeded.. then when it was almost done, i think, i came acrros to these messages

    E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

    i checked the synaptic manager and new things are there such as the one i need which is gnome-bluetooth.. but i'm wondering wether these "failed to fetch messages" would have some effects afterwards.. help? please? thanks in advance

    Re: help repositories downloading then failed to fetch

    Hello, I have a similar problem, I've been looking for an answer for quite some time now, but I have only found a partial solution to my problem.

    I have Kubuntu installed, Dapper.
    This is my sources.list:

    Code:
    ## Add comments (##) in front of any line to remove it from being checked.
    ## Use the following sources.list at your own risk.
    
    # If you get errors about missing keys, lookup the key in this file
    # and run these commands (replace KEY with the key number)
    #
    # gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv KEY
    # gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -

    E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
    These "bzip2"-problems have been partially solved. The problem I had een couple of weeks ago is that almost all sources gave the same problem. I solved it by changing my sources.list, I changed all http's into ftp's. This works perfectly now, with the exception of
    Code:
    ## Medibuntu - Ubuntu 6.06 LTS "dapper drake"
    ## Please report any bug on https://launchpad.net/products/medibuntu/+bugs
    deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ dapper free non-free
    deb-src http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ dapper free non-free
    I suspect Medibunto not to have an ftp mirror.

    So my problem is: How can I solve this? And why does (K)ubuntu have problems with http in its sources.list???

    I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me out! Thanx in advance!

    Re: help repositories downloading then failed to fetch

    I have no problems fetching the repos (all of them have been enabled, by me), but when I try to update the system or install, for example, skype, I receive a BREAK error. Are the repos down? or at least some of them?

    MepisReign

    Solution: Ok, I managed a way to get this working, just go here --> http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
    Choose your location and OS version, then create the list, make a backup of your original list and replace it with the one created from the website above. Some of the repos provided by source-0-matic may not work, just delete them or disable them on the sources list (by placing # in front of the deb..).
    You can edit your sources.list, if running ubuntu type: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    if your are running kubuntu (I do) type: sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list

    That way your are going to be able to update your system and also even install the W32 codecs

    Hoping this help someone and avoid people to smash their heads against a wall
