A few hours later, I commented out the repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list and added new ones:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list # /etc/apt/sources.list #deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse #deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse #deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse # Try these repositories. deb http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/ precise main deb http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse Then 'sudo apt-get update' ran fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755908 Title: Fail to update certain packages....
