This happened to me today, and I believe my router was misbehaving. I'm running a WRT54GL with a recent version of DD-WRT. I know from experience this WRT54GL unit gets weird after 1 to 2 weeks of uptime, so I have it set to reboot every night at 3am. HOWEVER for some reason it showed an uptime of 9 days, so I manually rebooted it. Now all seems fine.
It would be nice if the "something wicked" error were a bit more helpful, but on MY humble network, I think this means it's probably about time to buy a new router.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574886 Title: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
