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
