[mfaridi]

today when I want update packages repo I see this error and can not download index

Code: Select all

The repository may no longer be 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 ensure the repository address in the preferences is correc

and I see this

Code: Select all

Hello, mfaridi.

I would try the following steps:

1. Remove the temporary cache files.

   Code: Select all

   sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

2. Recreate the needed folder structure,

   Code: Select all

   sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial

3. Try apt-get again.

   Code: Select all

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Kind regards,
Karl
