    hanging update/install (solved)

    When I try and update or install a program in Jaunty (new installation)
    it "hangs" with the final line in terminal reading:
    99% [1 packages bzip2 0].

    Below is my sources.list where I thought the problem lies. On another
    forum the problem wasn't solved but nobody thought that the sources list
    was at fault.
    Help please! I can't update or install any program. Should I re-install
    Jaunty from scratch?
    TIA

    Re: hanging update/install

    I would start by editing the sources in Adept or Synaptic if they run. For instance, disable all the source code, and most third party software. Can you do that? If not, I would start by commenting out everything, and doing

    "sudo apt-get update"

    In a terminal, and then add them one by one. Most likely you don;t need the backports, and you don;t need the deb-src ones.

    No need to reinstall

      Imilano,
      Please explain why you think the above should work.. I tried it to no avail.

        Re: hanging update/install

        Well, if you start with just nothing to retrieve, the process should complete. Could you do that, and ap-tget update in a terminal and post exactly the output?

        Then add the most basic one (to comment out the rest you add # at the line beginning.

        deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted

        If it doesn't work, try adding some locale:

        deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted

        Please post the exact command execution and outputs.

          Re: hanging update/install (solved)

          After reading and trying all sorts of suggestions (including cancelling src) I read on some thread (sorry there were so many that I don't remember which) to type
          sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
          I don't know why dist-upgrade but that's what solved the problem for me.
