The problem is probably on your end, as I was able to download the same file from home.

There is probably a fancy "Intrusion prevention system" that was too strictly configured on your end that is blocking you from downloading the file.

You could try downloading it from another mirror if the problem is for this specific mirror, see the complete list :

http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/amd64/librpmsign0/download

Just find one, copy the download link, wget it and install it with dpkg (dpkg -i librpmsign0_4.9.0-7_amd64.deb) before starting the upgrade again.

If that fails, try changing the repository used in /etc/apt/sources.list.

If that fails too, you will need to add exceptions to the IPS.

  • Changed our firewall rules and now the download works! Still it's strange.. we never had any problem download packages from ubuntu
