Thanks for your bugreport. Could you please give me the full terminal output of: $ sudo apt-get update $ echo $? $ ls -l /var/lib/apt/periodic/
The way its implemented is that if one repository fails to update then the file is not touched. The output of the commands hopefully gives us a idea what goes wrong.
