Hello The first command worked fine. On the first run after the command I had the following message from synaptic: Could not download all repository indexes
The repository might be no longer available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences. ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-x86_64/base/pkglist.kde: Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file.

It fails to read file size of a package from the repository data, perhaps that data is corrupted. As a first step you might want to try cleaning up your local cache: # rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/*.* ..or replace the path with /var/state/apt/lists/ if the above doesn't exist, and then try updating the package lists again (with apt or from synaptic) - Panu - _______________________________________________ Synaptic-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/synaptic-devel
