apt-get woes

jeisma · 03-09-2006, 12:57 AM

hello!

after my first (painful) install of ubuntu 5.10, and found the need to install tbird, found myself stumped with apt-get not being able to update.

i am on lan and connects to the internet via proxy (squid). already made changes to the bashrc file for http proxy connection.

running sudo apt-get update i get this:

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

somehow, i believe, apt-get is able to connect to the internet (thru a proxy) but is being blocked by firewall or something.

what would i ask the admin so that i can succesfully update?

also, with the above errors, via firefox, i tried to download

Code:

h??p://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...86/Packages.gz

, which went fine.

i tried wget -vc

Code:

h??p://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...86/Packages.gz

,
i get "ERROR 403: Forbidden."

enlighten me pls?

thank you!

Did you try using FTP instead of HTTP? sudo base-config then select "Configure APT" and select FTP as the type and pick a mirror. Then exit and do sudo apt-get update and see if that gets you around it.

Also saw somewhere that the proxy might be the issue and that you can add a line to /etc/apt/apt.conf

Code:

Acquire::http:Proxy "http://proxyipaddress:8080";

where proxyipaddress is of course the address of your proxy...

do you have an actiontec dsl modem?
if so there is a problem with dns server in this modem.
I have had lots of problems with this issue. You need to make sure that the name
servers in your network settings are the same as the name servers in the modem. If the
first name server is 192.168.0.1 then you have to change it to dns#2 from the your modems
status page. If yo don't then apt-get, synaptic, adept will not work. You can check the
/etc/resolv.conf file also.
$cat /etc/resolv.conf
should show you what name servers are being used.
Hope this helps.
