Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrading Failed To Fetch Files?
May 8, 2010
I'm trying to upgrade everything on this computer to the release Lucid, and am getting errors retrieving some files, here's a sample of one of the errors, (the rest are very similar)
W: Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
Lately when I've tried to update my packages many of them don't update. I get nothing out of the ordinary when using the terminal but when I try to update via the Update manger I get this error message:
Code: Error message: Fetch failed: W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mirror.steadfast.net_debian_dists_testing_main_source_Sources Hash Sum mismatch W:Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mirror.steadfast.net_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-amd64_Packages Hash Sum mismatch, W:Failed to fetch http://mirror.steadfast.net/debian/dists/testing/updates/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 208.100.4.53 80]

I've tried several different mirrors but get the same error with every one. Same result with ftp as well. Yesterday I upgraded to Wheezy and every package successfully upgraded, but today the problem started again.
Fail to fetch 2 ppa.launchpad.net addresses and another cause the upgrade to terminate. The error messages suggest some type of network error. Should I wait a week and try the upgrade again?
Problem with my upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. I got the update manager to show the upgrade to 11.04 button - proceeded. It downloaded 1300 files or there abouts then did a failed to fetch http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/pool/main/g/. I took a screen shot which left the rest out - also did a select all - copy - no paste occurred. - re-obtained. So I'm thinking that the missing files are missing on this server and my current thought is that I will go to another server and try downloading from that one. BTW did the same upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 to be able to upgrade to 11.04 that one worked well I didn't know there was a 10.10 upgrade since I got here; there are a few problems that went away.. This upgrade only showed after changing my status to normal from long term.

When I recently attempted to install Wine onto my computer from the Software Center, after the download bar had filled completely, I received the following error.
Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...u8.4_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]

I'm unable to install updates and new packages. I receive messages such as the following:
W: Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.161 80] W: Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.161 80] W: Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.161 80]
I recently had windows vista taken off my hard drive and my partitions realigned to create more storage space on my hard drive. I don't now if this is related. I was able to install upgrades previously.
I'm running 9.04 and trying to use the update manager. On checking for updates, I get the error message:W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.uoregon.edu/ubuntu/arc...ty/Release.gpg Could not connect to 69.219.142.196:21 (69.219.142.196). - connect (111 Connection refused)W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.uoregon.edu/ubuntu/arc...tion-en_US.bz2 Could not connect to 69.219.142.196:21 (69.219.142.196). - connect (111 Connection refused)(more...)This used to work, but now it doesn't. I tried selecting all kinds of different sources in the "Software Sources" GUI. And this seemed to change my /etc/sources.list accordingly. But, whatever the hostname given (above mirror.uoregon...), that same IP address is shown 69.219.... huh? I can browse the web, etc fine from this computer
Currently have 9.04 installed. Wanted to upgrade to 9.10. Down loaded and burned alternate CD. The desktop doesn't have internet access. The upgrade failed and generated an error:
Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...0.9.10_all.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]

Is it possible edit/alter a script to point to correct file and get by this error?
I am having trouble upgrading and updating. When updating the file downloads to 99% and then stops. The error message is:

I believe this has something to do with a power outage while upgrading a few days ago. Most of the install completed after rebooting, all except the three 'linux kernel image' files and a few others. Also, as a side issue, Flash plugin and Flex builder are no longer working. This may be unrelated. Does any one have any trouble shooting advice for the issue?
I upgraded to natty on release day and everything went fine, but about three days ago when I went to update my sources, I get this: Code: sudo apt-get update Code: W: Failed to fetch [URL] Sources 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch [URL] Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I've looked through the forums, but similar problems are always tied to the mozilla repo, not this one. It seems important, so I'm not sure if I should just delete it or what. My sources.list looks like this: Code: # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)]/ maverick main restricted # See [URL] for how to upgrade to newer versions of the distribution. deb [URL] natty main restricted deb-src [URL] natty main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the distribution .....
I just can't get any updates from: [URL] AND [URL] In both cases it says "404 not found" Here's the code out of the terminal after typing "sudo apt-get update"

I have brought a virtuell server to get Magento ready. My server is debian with PHP Version 5.2.6-1+lenny3
For that i need Pear. I want to install it global so i tried this command "apt-get install php-pear". Following i get after this:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: php5-cl Suggested packages: code.... 1+lenny3_all.deb 404 Not Found E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
I went to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 and it wouldn't upgrade. This is the error:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
I looked for the same errors on here and on the Internet and these were some solutions, but they did not work (I included the errors form the solutions)
1. I tried in the terminal to apt-get clean, sudo apt-get -f install and this is what I got:
E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the download directory
I'm trying to upgrade from 9.1. Originally I was using update manager, but the upgrade failed. Now I have a big icon red with white line on the top toolbar. When I hover over it, it tells me to run Package Manager in order to fix Broken Packages. However, that doesn't work. If I try to run the upgrade again I end up being told to use the terminal and run sudo apt-get install -f. When I do that I get the following ...
Update Manager fails to update the files in Karmic 9.10. The Internet access is fine but it fails to fetch from repository (404). I haven't changed any setting but since yesterday I realized the Update Manager is not working. I tried different servers and results were the same. It seems the packages are available in the server (checked by firefox), while Ubuntu can not find them. As I am using Bell-Sympatico as ISP, I am not behind any proxy.
I was trying to update my system and got the following message.
Failed to fetch [URL] Something wicked happened resolving 'security.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Is anyone else having trouble...I'm getting a ton of "Failed to fetch..." errors while updating.The site itself is working fine. No news here [URL]. Normally I wouldn't be concerned, however this happened right when I modified my sources so I'm hoping I didn't mess something up.
Has anyone tried to install virtualbox on 9.04 Jaunty recently? [URL].

Why do I receive messages that have the phrase "fail to fetch" when I try to update Ubuntu 11.04? I am using System, Administration, Update Manager and I have not modified the file /etc/apt/sources.list; nevertheless, I have copied it below together with an example message code...
While I am trying to install updates following error is displayed
W:Failed to fetch url 404 Not Found , W:Failed to fetch url 404 Not Found , E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
My internet conection is good, I've installed some updates months ago.
when I open the update manager, he lists 14 items as recomended updates and when I click on install updates appears a box with this mesage "An error occurred" and makes the following list: Code: W: Failed to fetch [URL] Size mismatch
I've just upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 64 bit, and everything went well except for the fglrx driver installation, which failed. I've checked the troubleshooting guide and tried to purge the drivers, with only partial success.
