That probably has something to do with it. :-) I Googled the error message and found: http://askubuntu.com/questions/165676/how-do-i-fix-a-e-the-method-driver-usr-lib-apt-methods-http-could-not-be-foun The second recommended fix was to check /etc/apt/sources.list and, Make sure there are no quotation marks ' ' or " ": followed by an example. Sure enough, one of the ppas had single quotes around it. I took out those quotes and reran sudo apt-tet update. It was unable to get a lock. I ran Update Manager and it worked. Then I ran sudo apt-get update again and, while it didn't do anything other than check, it did that and completed. > sudo apt-get upgrade IIRC this would try to take me from 12.04 to something newer, which I don't want to do. Thanks for the ideas. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
