You have a reference to a debian repository on an Ubuntu system. This cannot be good. Remove is like this:- Applications --> Accessories --> terminal sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list comment out (or remove) the lines referencing "debian.org" by either deleting them completely or putting a "#" character at the start of those line(s). Then save the file, exit the editor and run the following command again:- sudo apt-get update Then try to do the update via the graphical tool. A word of warning, it's possible that packages have in the past come into your system from that debian repository. It is _possible_ this may cause conflicts with other installed, or yet to be installed, ubuntu packages. Lets see what happens after we do the above though eh before we panic :) Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
