    Software update error messages

    I just updated to 9.04 today and am having a problem updating software. I did load some software successfully earlier today (Gnumeric, Audacity, something else I forgot already, but it worked.

    I saw a notice in my taskbar that there were 100 or so updates. They did not show up when I double clicked, so I figured I would add Synaptic to my programs, as it seems others in the forum had done. When I search for Synaptic, or look for software updates I get these two messages -- I have attached a screen shot of them.

    When I attempt to refresh the software updates is the time that I get these messages.

    I'm concerned that if I don't get this working I will have a problem getting the automatic update to 9.10 when it is available.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Re: Software update error messages

    Ensure that Synaptic is closed. Open a console and type:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    If you receive no messages, then:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

      After the second message, I got a whole bunch of actions in Konsole which ended with "Unmet dependencies. Try using -f"

        Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list for review?

            Makes me wonder - these were enabled pre-upgrade to Jaunty, so do you have packages installed from these? This could be resulting in dependencies not being met. Just a thought.

            You can 'test' this by uncommenting these entries and saving the file. Then, in a console reissue the sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. If you don't get any error messages, that would pretty much confirm my thought. If you still get the un-met dependency errors, well, just re-comment the entries and rerun sudo apt-get update to refresh the package cache.

              maybe just uncomment those, then sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade. Those are Jaunty repos, and you are now running Jaunty...
