I just did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04LTS server without any issues.
However, the apt-get update or aptitude update is giving the following errors:
a. bzip2:(stdin) is not bzip2 file.ign for all lines
Plus the following errors :

Please guide in resolving this error .
/etc/apt/sources.list
select everything, copy it to the clipboard, edit your question, and paste it in. From the error message, it looks to me like some of the URLs in that configuration file may be corrupt. Providing the contents of that file will show if that is the case and, if so, how to fix it. Please also open a Terminal window, run the commandls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d
. That will give some information about PPAs and other software sources besides the primary ones (if there are any). – Eliah Kagan Dec 26 '12 at 21:00
