Well, I can definitely get to the page from my browser. Is this your main box and does it have internet connectivity? Have you tried a different repository?

Posting from it right now!

Quote:

How?

Did you do an apt-get update before you did the apt-get upgrade?
Ie please try:

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

Regarding other repositories: man sources.list
Basically you just edit /etc/apt/sources.list

Cheers,

Evo2.

root@xxxx:~#

Looks like that mirror might be out of sync. Try changing your repo by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list. For example change each instance of "ca.archive.ubuntu.com" to "us.archive.ubuntu.com" or "archive.ubuntu.com". Then repeat the 'apt-get updat' and 'apt-get upgrade'.

It seems that the error message that you "forgot" told you exactly what to do. I don't see how anyone here can help you if you "forget" what the error messages are, and if you don't follow instructions. Additionally you want questions answered you need to *ask* questions.

Evo2.

Please wait, i am currently rebooting because by host OS crashed LOL.

here is the exact error:

Code:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you should probably run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

So did you follow the instructions?

Evo2.

Yes, now heres what i get:

Code:

root@xxxx:~# apt-get install dkms libsdl-ttf2.0-0

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree      

Reading state information... Done

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  virtualbox-3.0: Depends: python2.5 (>= 2.5) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Please, please, please try to follow the instructions/suggestions that apt gives to to you. Ie.

Code:

apt-get -f install

If you read the apt-get man page you will see that the -f means "fix missing".
