Public bug reported: Whenever I attempt to update my package lists in any way, synaptic or apt-get, the first attempt will always fail, something like:

After that it quickly goes wrong again. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Updating package lists fails on first attempt https://launchpad.net/bugs/52156 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
