[SOLVED] Canceling apt-get installation task

Snigger · 08-17-2010, 10:04 AM

Hi
I tried to install some packages using apt-get (86 packages) but when it started downloading them I canceled it by hitting Ctrl-C .
Now when I try to install another package or using another command of apt-get it want to download those 86 packages again!

Code:

0 upgraded, 86 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

How can I cancel it?

Thanks

Hi Thanks for reply.
It didn't work!
Still it tries to download these packages!

I'm using Lucid (Profile Updated)

Thanks

Fixed!
It was my mistake and 86 packages was dependencies of my desired package!

Thank you very much
