Problem with apt
 

Hi. I recently upgraded from 64-bit breezy to 64-bit dapper. Loving it so far, except for one problem - apt and Synaptic are being a bitch.

Here's the output I get from sudo apt-get update:

Synaptic mostly works, except I get the following error when I click "Reload":

Can anyone help? This is REALLY starting to annoy me - I can't even install the nVidia drivers!:cry:

I'm behind a University proxy, if that makes any difference, but I think I've set it up correctly. It's a HTTP proxy with authentication. Web browsing works, and I can use apt/synaptic sometimes (for some repositories), so it's not a problem with internet access.

Here's my sources.list, if that helps:

Thanks in advance for your help.:)

Here is my repos list you can have one created at the following address.

http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic

If you use my repos list you will need to import some keys with the following commands.

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv KEY
gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -

As for the proxy settings. You will need to configure those. Never really had to deal with a proxy server regarding apt-get.

The problem is just with gb.archive. Comment out this source and just use the standard ones provided since they also have the resticted modules there.

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!!

The source-o-matic solved my problem completely, and I see some useful new repos in brianthegreat's post that I might use - thanks. (Yeah, I'm a bit of a n00b).

I knew I could count on LQ to help me out. You're both legends!:D :D :D :D :D :cool:
