  • what message do you if you type "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal Ahmed? – Allan Feb 24 '11 at 22:21
  • Are you upgrading 10.04 → 10.10, or something else? Can you also tar/zip the folder /var/log/dist-upgrade and upload it somewhere so that we can have a look at it? – arrange Feb 24 '11 at 22:23
  • no error appear after typing "sudo apt-get update", but after "sudo apt-get upgrade" asked me to download 684MB updates. -allan – Ahmed Refaat Feb 24 '11 at 23:07
  • no i'm not upgrading for 10.10, so the folder dist-upgrade is empty! -arrange – Ahmed Refaat Feb 24 '11 at 23:08
  • OK, so can you post or upload somewhere the output of sudo apt-get upgrade? (You can say cancel the upgrade then when asked for confirmation.) – arrange Feb 25 '11 at 09:35
  • Offtopic: This is the third issue I came across with the update manager in the last two days. I faced this error - http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/hxtshc9i/Untitledwindow_030.png and I fixed it by removing the package list (I guess, I am not sure) and then regenerating them by sudo apt-get upgrade. Well now my comment doesn't make any sense here at all. :P – Ashfame Feb 25 '11 at 20:06
