Do a DNS lookup on ports.ubuntu.com from home and at work and see if they are talking to the same server. When in doubt, set your system to use Google's public DNS 8.8.8.8
>From my home computer the Packages file does not exist either, but http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/trusty/universe/binary-armhf/ works, there just is no Packages file or html there only Packages.bx2 and Packeges.gz when I use Firefox. Have you done the apt-get upgrade, ignoring the failed to download message? I seem to recall some dpkg updates came in not too long ago. Try fswebcam or guvcview as a replacement for cheese (which has never done anything but crash for me even when it was an "official" package). The on thing you are saying that I don't understand is the bit about" 2. use different OS, debian & ubuntu, still doesnt work 3. the problem is i want to apt-get install cheese it says can't locate the package.... The /etc/apt/sources.list has to be set to match the distribution you are running it from. If you want a "generic" *.deb file for cheese, try the cheese website.
