Public bug reported:
Hi all,
I installed ubuntu 7.04 beta through the alternate-CD. I checked the CD
for defects beforehand & it went smoothly. I installed the system & everything
booted normally. Now I checked with sources to update, with the Indian server
it doesn't download the package lists, with the main server (american) it
downloads the package list & shows the no. of updates needed to get but hangs
there. My original /etc/sources.list is at
http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12953/plain/ then after advice from people on the
chat channel modified to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12968/ but I'm not able to
update. I get a constant error message even if I change the server from India
to main (US, I guess) or vice-versa. The error message is as under :-
A error occured, please run package manager from the right-click menu or
apt-get on a terminal to see what is wrong
The error message was : "Error:Opening the cache(E:Type '??' is not
known on line 1 in sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list, E: The list of
sources could not be read.)
Now please lemme know what/where I'm going wrong. Thnx in advance.
