http://ppa.launchpad.net/quickly/ppa/ubuntu/dists -> there's no maverick version

http://ppa.launchpad.net/nanny/ppa/ubuntu/dists -> there's no maverick version

To fix this:

  • Applications > Sofware Center,
  • Edit > Sofware sources...,
  • Enter your password,
  • Go to the 'Other Software' tab, and
  • Edit the PPAs for Quickly and Nanny so the 'Distribution' field is 'karmic'.

Also, there's a hash sum mismatch for the maverick-security repo (can be caused by corrupted downloads, etc.), which should be fixed by simply running apt-get update again.

  • Thanks htorque, it was helpful, but still I have a doubt why there is maverick in the ppa if there is no ppa for it? My maverick-security repo is showing error since the day one of installation on my two computers, so what could be the problem? thanks. – Gaurav Butola Nov 14 '10 at 08:21
  • When you use apt-add to add the PPA, it will automatically use the distribution value of the Ubuntu version you currently use. About the hash sum mismatch - no idea, sorry. – htorque Nov 14 '10 at 11:02

Run sudo apt-get update in terminal and then try reinstalling the package again.

  • I am not trying to install anything, Its just that, I am getting errors on apt-get update. I have mentioned the quickly ppa because it is showing errors and I cant find it in the sources list to delete it. Of course I got these errors after doing sudo apt-get update as I have mentioned in the question. – Gaurav Butola Nov 13 '10 at 22:14
