I recently got a raspberry pi device. First of all I must say that it has been nothing but pure trouble from the beginning.
Problems every step of the way
I finally got a reasonably working OS on it, but apt-get will not work.
When I try for example apt-get install links2
I get this:
Code:
Building package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libdirectfb-1.2-9 libgpm2 libjpeg8 libsvga1 libtiff4 libts-0.0-0 libx11-6 libx11-data libxau6 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 tsconf
Suggested packages:
gpm
The following new packages will be installed:
libdirectfb-1.2-9 libgpm2 libjpeg8 libsvga1 libtiff4 libts-0.0-0 libx11-6 libx11-data libxau6 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 links2 tsconf

E: Unable to fetch archives, maybe run apt-get update to try with --fix-missing?
apt-get update succeeds but does not fix the problem.
Then I changed the default repo URL from mirrordirector.raspbian.org to archive.raspbian.org
Now when I do apt-get update it hangs up on 100% [2 PACKAGES BZIP2 0 B]
for about 5 minutes before finally spitting this out:
Code:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
And so far, I have not found a solution through the RPI support system so I thought that I might as well ask here.
package managers sure are a big pain I must say
