** Description changed: in dapper, when performing "apt-get update" i get an error message. i have been getting this message, everytime that i attempt to update my package lists, since installing dapper about one month ago. by using firefox, i was able to download and open the relevant "Packages.gz" file without a problem. i'm not sure if this is a problem with the netork/server or an actual bug in Ubuntu, but there should certainly be a better error message in either case. the error that the terminal spit out was: - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get update - Password: - Get:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release.gpg [189B] - Get:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates Release.gpg [189B] - Get:3 http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security Release.gpg [189B] - Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release - Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security Release - Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates Release - Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/main Packages - Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages - Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/restricted Packages - Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Sources - Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/restricted Sources - Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages - Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/restricted Packages - Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/main Sources - Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/restricted Packages - Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Sources - Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/restricted Sources - Get:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages [821kB] - 99% [4 Packages gzip 0] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] - gzip: stdin: not in gzip format - Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages - Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) - Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/restricted Sources - Get:5 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages [97.9kB] - 99% [Working] - gzip: stdin: not in gzip format - Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages - Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) - Fetched 5B in 0s (5B/s) - Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) - Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) - E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) - E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? + -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get update Get:1 http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security Release.gpg [189B] Get:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release.gpg [189B] Get:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates Release.gpg [189B] Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security Release Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates Release Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/main Packages Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/restricted Packages Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Sources Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/restricted Packages Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/main Sources Hit http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/restricted Sources Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/restricted Sources Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/restricted Packages Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Sources Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/restricted Sources Get:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages [821kB] 99% [4 Packages gzip 0] [Waiting for headers] gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Get:5 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages [97.9kB] 99% [Working] gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Fetched 5B in 1s (5B/s) Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Reading package lists...
