This error can be caused by a malformed /etc/apt/sources.list file.
I've seen it in stock Ubuntu.
I think my instance may have got stepped on by some weird bug in the

Hi There
I have a similar issue with Xubuntu and I want to make sure I understand
the fix properly. When you say remove the "web" component in the ubuntu
archive do you mean
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-security main restricted multiverse
[b]web[/b]
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.

I'm also getting this. It started the 8.04 final was released. I've
tried using mirror sources but it didn't help. Here's what I'm getting
with my mirrors:
W: Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release
Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index
There's a file /var/log/dist-upgrade/term.log too but it's zero length.
