If apt-get clean all apt-get update doesn't work ( which it probably wont ), then the sledgehammer is... rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* apt-get update There may be an error returned trying to remove the /var/lib/apt/lists/partial directory, and if it still fails, clear that down as well. hth, Steve -- Steve Holdoway <[email protected]>
