repositories issue

[murphycc]

Hi everyone,

I didn't get any security or software updates this week, so I thought perhaps something was wrong.

I ran kpackagekit and changed my Download server from United States (general) to one from Texas (specific). It then refreshed, and suddenly I had 199 updates to install, mostly from backports. I changed the Download Server back to United States, and it still shows 199 updates.

Problem is, almost all of these updates are from long ago and I have already installed them (mostly backports). I did not change/add any ppa's when I changed download servers.

Does anyone know why kpackagekit thinks I have not installed those updates already, or why it changed simply from my changing download servers? How do I 'reset' it again?

Thanks,
Chris

Easy answer this which indicates my level of expertise!

Why not try 'synaptic' instead and see what that does? I know kpackagekit can do funny little things sometimes which is why I (and many others?) use 'synaptic'.

Re: repositories issue

Or better yet, control your downloads of updates from the command line. Faster and better.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
