Hi Leroy Hmmm...I can't see how setting up a shared printer could affect it, but if the problem appeared just after you did that, then it's probably related. Do you know what you did in order to configure it? Did you follow some instructions online?
The way updates work in APT (the packaging system in Ubuntu) is that your computer downloads a list of packages from the internet, which has the names and version numbers of every available package. This list- downloading step was what you did with "sudo aptitude update". The lists are stored in /var/lib/apt/lists. APT can compare the version numbers from that to the version numbers it knows are installed, and where there's a newer version available, it will offer you an update. When you tell it to upgrade, it attempts to get the new package from the internet (the lists contain the information on where it is), and install it. I think that your update-manager has failed at the stage where it tries to get the new package. But I don't know why it might be doing that, I'm afraid. Can you install a package in synaptic? -- Update 2.6.24.18.20 fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237662 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
