My Padlock is broken....

Hi,

The padlock on the bottom right of my screen is in 2 halves. Not new, I seem to have read something about it somewhere but don't remember where.
The message "Could not refresh the list of packages" appears.

When I use the command "sudo apt-get update" I get a couple of pages of text, ending with..
"Failed to fetch http://wwwgetautomatix.com/apt/dists/gutsy/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'wwwgetautomatix.com'
Failed to fetch http://wwwgetautomatix.com/apt/dists/gu ... -en_AU.bz2 Could not resolve 'wwwgetautomatix.com'
Failed to fetch http://wwwgetautomatix.com/apt/dists/gu ... ackages.gz Could not resolve 'wwwgetautomatix.com'
Reading package lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I guess that explains the mystery described in my earlier post about being unable to get Automatix working and also why the padlock isn't happy.

So, does anyone know of a fix and how to implement it?

Thanks,

Griz.

This is in the wrong section. This is not an Announcement.
Shouldn't it be http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/dists/gutsy/Release.gpg

I didn't intend it to be here, I wanted it to be in the Post bugs in Daryna beta 021 here section.

Thanks for pointing out the missing ".", I have edited the file using the facility in the Synaptic Manager and now all is well.

Thanks.

Griz.
