Thanks for the info, time and effort. In the meantime I have solved the problem by removing the "/etc/apt/sources.list" file, and let it be recreated. The problem, I suppose, was when I added a couple of new repos to the list with mistakes. I have added those that later thru software sources and the problem disappeared. Besim
