Could not download all repository indexes

[JarG0n]

Help!

I'm getting this message when trying to reload the packages in Synaptic. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?

Could not download all repository indexes

The repository might be no longer available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences.

http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/di.../Packages.bz2: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_edgy-security_universe_binary-i386_Packages - open (2 No such file or directory)

then.. this error is raised after dismissing the above.


An error occured

The following details are provided:

Can you post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file?

Can you post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file?

Well, I don't see an exact duplicate. What should I remove, and how did this get here in the first place?

I tried the update again today, and now I'm not getting an error!!

the third ¨edgy-security¨ entry have ¨main¨ after universe. That`s what is probably giving the problems there.

I was thinking the same thing about two mains, but if it's working, don't worry about it.

Hi, sorry for the delay, but can go to the terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and post the output of the command

head -38 /etc/apt/sources.list | tail -1

What this code does is it tells the system to output the first 38 lines of the file, but only show you the last 1 line (the 38th line, the one with the problem)

Just installed an older version of ubuntu in an emergency, 7.04 feisty fawn I think. I get this message trying to install or update anything.
