Yesterday my server still OK, but today after try to sudo apt-get update i got this error: update process.

I try: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf And got This.Then try update again, but it's not solving my problem then show May be still same error.

I checked my internet connection try ping google.com, get result :

PING google.com (74.125.235.40) 56(84) bytes of data.

In some sites said that may be it caused by getdeb server is down.

try to install: 

jeinqa@SVRQAR:~$ sudo apt-get install pastebinit
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_restricted_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

try : 

sudo ufw status verbose

result :

Based on your test of simply attempting to fetch the google homepage, via wget -q -O- http://www.google.com, there is a firewall FW-1 on the machine/domain jeinfw which seems to be blocking most, if not all outbound http access. (Ping/ICMP is not the same as http, so just because ping works doesn't mean http also does).

That's why apt-get is failing -- instead of the content it expects, whether text, bzip2, gzip or xz, it always gets this HTML response from the firewall when it requests any file:

<TITLE>Error</TITLE>
<BODY>
<H1>Error</H1>
FW-1 at jeinfw: Access denied.
</BODY>

To resolve this:

You need to set up the HTTP proxy servers you were given! (I was told via chat!)

Assuming the server is http://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080,

  • Open the /etc/profile file with sudo nano (or your favorite editor). This file stores the system-wide variables initialized upon boot into the console.

  • Add the following lines, modifying appropriately. You must duplicate in both upper-case and lower-case because (unfortunately) some programs only look for one or the other:

    http_proxy=http://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
https_proxy=http://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
ftp_proxy=http://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"
HTTP_PROXY=http://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
HTTPS_PROXY=http://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
FTP_PROXY=http://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"

Then, set up the proxies for apt-get and Update Manager

  • These programs will not obey the environment variables. Create a file called 95proxies in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/, and include the following:

    Acquire::http::proxy "http://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://139.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/";

Finally, reboot the server to apply the changes.

  • it doesn't work. This is the apt-config dump output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1053970/ – klox Jun 22 '12 at 09:45
  • There's something between apt-get and the internet - notice the 0B(yte) downloads and the failure to even get the package list in the error logs. – ish Jun 23 '12 at 05:51
  • Please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file, and also wget -O- http://www.google.com | pastebinit – ish Jun 25 '12 at 04:55
  • source.list :http://pastebin.com/rvWJWJU4 and http://pastebin.com/fxADy6Rr – klox Jun 25 '12 at 05:01
  • OK, there is a proxy server or something in your internet which is blocking HTTP accesses. When you wget the google homepage, the length should be Length: unspecified [text/html], NOT 82 which you get and the output should be http://paste.ubuntu.com/1058592/ . – ish Jun 25 '12 at 05:08
  • But it mention The program 'pastebinit' is currently not installed. then try to install it i got error. – klox Jun 25 '12 at 05:12
  • Well, that's because of the core problem we are trying to solve here. What does wget -q -O- http://www.google.com/ display? Can you copy and paste that? – ish Jun 25 '12 at 05:20
  • this the result : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1058606/ – klox Jun 25 '12 at 05:24
  • See edited answer - you need to have that firewall disabled. – ish Jun 25 '12 at 05:31
