apt-get upgrade failing in Ubuntu 14.04
 
Hi,

Have a problem in upgrading the packages which are fetched with the command
Code:
apt-get update
in Ubuntu 14.04.

Code:
apt-get update
stages 116 packages , but when we run
Code:
apt-get upgrade
it is waiting for hours without installing .

When a
Code:
apt-get install curl
it works fine . Note curl is available among one of the 116 packages and it is updating fine . But
Code:
apt-get upgrade
still not working

Just happen to have been grokking the Ubuntu website today. Are they still supporting that? Wikipedia has a good chart in the article on ubuntu showing all versions and support/eol status.

you need to prefix that cmd with sudo, as it needs sudo priv.

run

sudo apt-get update
