Downloading repository doesn't work

Question

I have a problem when I am downloading and trying to install few things eg: mtp-tools. It's telling me that it's going to add 265 K on my disk, I press YES and then it stays on waiting for headers( I changed from main server to UK server, but it didn't make any difference).

Any idea guys?

Answer 1

1. First confirm that you are able to browse other websites.

2. Then, Run this commands:

   sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists{,bakjune4};
   sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/partial{,bakjune4};
   sudo apt-get update;
   sudo apt-get upgrade;

Note: In any case you can revert to your current situation by using followiing commands:

• sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/;
• sudo mv /var/lib/apt/list{bakjune4,};
• sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/partial{bakjune4,};
