I recently was runnning the auto updater and I got the red circle with a white line within saying:
A problem occurred when checking for updates
After reading a few of the forums here, I tried to delete the file manually but software centre would not open as well. Or rather close after a few seconds that it was opened without showing any information.
Going by similar problems I tried to sudo purge Updater/Chrome etc. and also tried :
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* -rf
How ever when I run the command
sudo apt-get update
it says reading lists
and then stops at 89% (o/p below)

s@sEOS:~$ sts... 89%
I have the same problem with apt dist-upgrade
That is it seems to stop at 89% with sts. What is sts, why could it be stopping there? FYI any of the changes that I want to make don't seem to be taking place so the sudo apt-get update
is not working.
I am not too sure what is wrong and how do I correct it.
