I have no clue what is going on, all of my other repos update just fine except these two. Upon visiting the links in my browser, they appear as text, as they should.

http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/InRelease http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease

EDIT: The error is this: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?) THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO PACKAGE ARCHIVES RECEIVING THIS ERROR.

I am on a mobile connection, which does have a transparent proxy, but I am tunneled on a VPN while doing this.

I have already cleared /var/lib/apt/lists to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated, Walaryne

  • This is a different problem, the post which you linked to does not solve my problem.

  • Can you explain why you think it is different? To me it looks like the exactly same error. Have you checked whether apt might need to have a proxy set up?

  • If I needed a proxy, then why are all of my other ppas/repos downloading just fine? Also its a transparent proxy, not like the ones you must connect to for some isps, its done transparently as the name entails.

  • It seems to be an issue where a gzip file is being downloaded in apt, and wget, but my browser is loading the file as text, like it should be. Personally I think these repos might be bypassing the vpn I'm using to stop the nosplit issue from happening in the first place.

  • So you get a InRelease.gz file when you run wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/InRelease?
