I'm having this error as well after upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS. I'm having to download 37MB+ every time I run the software updater and/or use apt-get. I've tired using some of the tricks above, like using touch and disabling some repos, but it's still happening.
It's tolerable for the time being while I'm using an unmetered fast connection, but it would be insanely painful if I was using a metered, slow connection. (Say, off the top of my head, like some Australian users.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001780 Title: apt-get update size is too big To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1001780/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
