Found a workaround, until we find the real reason for this error. It was to do with the </etc/apt/sources.list> file. I used the attached file instead of the one I had, and whola it worked! The old file must have had an error/special character in its contents that apt couldn't decode. Procedure to update (for Nubees): 1. Save your existing Apt sources file. eg: sudo cp -v /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.<yourname>20071109
2. Download and save the attached sources file to a known location. Then copy it over the existing sources file. Eg: sudo cp -v <downloadedDirectory>/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list 3. Re-run the upgrade procedure as described in http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading ** Attachment added: "Apt sources that works with the updating procedure" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10312184/sources.list -- Error during update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159458 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
