-- Error in checkAPT.py, could not refresh the list [solved]

Post by saxophin »

Installed Mint 14 yesterday on my Acer Aspire One netbook. I chose the same partition as my Mint 13 installation. Thought it would format this and leave me a clean install but it appeared to upgrade. Everything working fine except update manager reports as above. It gives this message:

Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I can't see these repositories in etc/apt/sources.list but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Should I reinstall, formatting the partition?

That would be my advice as you don't know what other things are lurking to bite.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.
