Problems with Update

Asked by seb4131

Hello,
         Once again this morning upon updates i have had problems and wondered if anyone else was having this problem i encounted an error while using update in Dapper Drake flight 6, it said there was a problem and listed the following:-

                       http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/source/Sources.bz2:MD5Sum

then it says this repositry isn't available and an older one will be used if available.

Thankyou,
Shaunn

P.S i have tried writing in a terminal sudo apt-get update and the same thing happens.

Hi seb4131,

Such errors sometimes happen when a mirror is being updated. They should
not last for very long. Can you please test again in 30-or-so minutes
and report whether it still happens,

Thanks

OK, sounds like an issue on the server. Can you please give me the exact
output? I will forward it to the archive maintainer.

Hello Dennis,
                      I had sent it to your email of <email address hidden>. Also when i tried the update application it worked fine just before but here is the message i got earlier the repositry is no longer available http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/source/Sources.bz2:MD5Sum mismatch

But as i said i have just tried the update and it works fine now. Thanks for all your help with this minor problem.

Thankyou,
Shaunn
