i hav recently upgraded to 10.10 and followed by wine. I tried to upgrade from wine 1.2 to 1.3 but i could not. Later i encountered a problem. This is it:An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information."E : ntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-maverick.list'"
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. The Update Manager originally showed the update to Ubuntu 10.04 and I pressed the update button. Midway through the update, my internet died so I just cancelled the update. My internet is working again and I'm trying to update but the update manager won't show the update button. I've pressed check a bunch of times and installed all the other updates but I can't see the distribution update.
I'm running 9.10 and did not upgrade to 10.4 because I thought I'd just wait tor 10.10. However, if I go to Sys/Admin.>Update Manager>'check'>'install'>'check' I do not get informed of upgrade choices.I am trying not to do an install with this because then I would have to reload and reset everything including 80+ CD's. Please help if you can.I know I have to Ugrade to 10.4 before I can upgrade to 10.10, however my update manger offers neither option after installing updates and rechecking.
The strangest thing is going on. I just did a fresh install of 9.10; however, apt-get upgrade returns different results then Update Manger found under System > Administration > update Manager. In addition, the apt-get upgrade method excludes a few upgrades from being installed. These upgrades are bind9, and a few for FireFox. Has anyone run into this issue recently?
i dont want to install some updates via update manager..so i untick them while updating..but when update manager checks for updates again..dey show up again..i m tired to unticking them again and again everytym. what should i do to prevent some updates from showing up again and again in update manager ?
Have just installed 10.04 in the lure to get 10.10, the latest release(Guys out there at the Launchpad have become SMART & thwarted an another attempt of mine to fetch a free CD again!)Update Manager shows up relevant updates of upto 301.something MBs in size BUT is not reflecting the latest release 10.10?!
Went to the settings to try out "Normal Release" under Release upgrade options, but nothing shows up on 10.10. When can I expect 10.10 start getting reflected within Update Manager?
I was using Ubuntu 10.04 and ran the upgrade. System > About now says I am now using 11.04. However, System > Administration > Update Manager says New Ubuntu release '11.04' available > Upgrade. Should I run the upgrade again, or is there a quicker way to fix this?
When I run the update manager in XUbuntu (natty/11:04) it does not show its progress while installing the upgrades.
After clicking on "install updates" and authenticating, there used to be a popup window with a progress bar and an option to show "details" but these appear to have disappeared in the last few days.
I don't recall switching these features off and there are no settings to restore them, available within the GUI. Is there another way of restoring this functionality?
If not, is a reinstall the way to go? If so what package(s) need re-installing? And in-case it is a configuration script, what files in my home directory need deleting to ensure a clean reinstall.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10, as i want to upgrade to 10.04. I followed the Ubuntu steps mention in Ubuntu.com but my update manager is not showing upgrade option..i tried below command that too did not show any output about the available updates..#do-release-upgrade.Checking for a new Ubuntu release.No new release found.
Finally I have been waiting for 11.04 to be released, but It is not showing up on the update manager to upgrade. The LTS release only is checked in the settings. Do I have to manually upgrade or do I have to install 10.10 then 11.04? or is it that the servers are quite busy?
I am using ubuntu 9.10.While running a partial update through System->adminstration->update-manager. I am facing error as 'Error Authenticating some packages". Please find the attached, screenshot of the error and sources.list file output.
everytime i try to install the updates from the update manager i get this error message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, i have tried running the sudo dpkg --configure -a in the terminal but when it asks for the password the keyboard stops working so i cant type anything into the terminal. can anyone help me fix this? My other problem was when i try to run the Add/Remove Applications i can't ever install any of the software because it says its "waiting for other tasks" i'm not sure why its doing this either.

after initating the update and i enter my pass word, update stops and an error box comes up stating that it is unable to update because there is more than one synaptic manager running, i have restarted and get the same results, and to my knowledge there is nothing else running in the background.
What does the below mean and how to fix it, or doesn't it matter? Ubuntu 10.04 LTS,E:synaptics-dkms: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
I tried to install Cairo from the "Synaptic Package Manager" but i was unsuccessful, also i cant open the "Synaptic Package Manager" or "Update Manager" without getting an error. I have posted both the errors below, please can someone please tell me how to fix this problem.

report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Type 'Cairo-Dock-PPA-Stable' is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'
As usual, I let the update manager run.. But now something bad happened and a red button is showing in the system tray, which when I hover my mouse over it, tells me to open package manager or try "sudo apt-get" in terminal to see what is wrong..
If I enter sudo apt-get upgrade, I get the following errors.. How can I fix it.. I am unable to open package manager itself..
Code: E: Problem parsing dependency Depends E: Error occurred while processing gconf2 (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Type 'sudo' is not known on line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list' I've been using Ubuntu for awhile, so I know my way around some stuff, but I'm completely lost on what to do here.
This is the error that the update manager kicks out. I am an running a pretty fresh install, hickup free until now using 10.10, Dual Boot with Win 7 (rarely used) and my internet connection is working flawlessly otherwise.
W:Failed to fetch [URL]... 404 Not Found, W:Failed to fetch URL]... 404 Not Foud, E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I reported with a error while opening the update manager. It shows E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/in.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-updates_main_i18n_Translation-en%5fIN, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
I am completely new at Ubuntu and would like to solve a problem I have when I try the update manager. I get this message:"Could not initialize the package information.An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
I am helping a friend (remotely) and she has a problem on the laptop which prevents doing any updates. The error message is Could not initialise the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information. Please report this bug for the 'update-manager' package and try to include the following error message:

I just did latest update and I get the following error message "The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct. Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found.

Along with the standard messages, apt-get displayed
Code:
gpg: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC This occurs on using the update manager, package manager, apt-get update, etc. Any ideas? I've tried deleting the cached files, changing my server, checking that my date & time are correct (signing can be time sensitive), updating gpg (it was already at the latest), and maybe some other things I've forgotten.
I keep getting the following error when the Update Manager runs.
Code: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. If I open up a terminal and run sudo dpkg --configure -a I then get the following error.
