Make sure you don't have any update utilities running then

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock

I think that my Update Manager is toast.

Is there something wrong with the repositories?

The manager starts to down load updates and then hangs.

Is there a way to re-install the Update Manager using get-app?

Thanks,

Run these 2 commans and you'll be fine :D :D

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update

Thank you.

I guess that there is something else broken - the command just hangs when executed:

Does anyone know what is wrong?

I gave up.

I decided to trash my 64 bit installation and install the 32 bit version instead.
