Update manager error?

When I try to update my software through update manager, I get this error:


W: Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...untu8_i386.deb
Size mismatch


I am quite confused. As a side note, when I enter Update Manager, it does not show 10.10 as an available update. I have checked my settings. I am quite kurfluddled by all of this, so all help is appreciated.

Try
Code:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
It could also be a problem with the repository, at least, there are reports it can happen in the repository index isn't updated. Try a different mirror, perhaps.

For upgrading to 10.10, I believe the option will appear in 10.04 once that is upgraded to all the latest packages.

GPG = GNU Privacy Guard It's to ensure what you're downloading has not been hacked, basically.

I would try a different mirror.
http://blog.techfun.org/2009/04/how-...sitory-mirror/

Failing that, try
Code:
sudo apt-get clean
cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

I installed the updates, and still it does not show 10.10 as an available update. My settings are in check, and I am quite confused.

Hit ALT+F2, run the update manager by entering
Code:
update-manager -d
Does it say something like "New Ubuntu Release is available?

If no, try
Code:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
Edit the file /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
And add (or edit if it exists) a line
Code:
Prompt=normal
Save and exit then do
Code:
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
