Error during update

Alain, this is probably due all Ubuntu servers being overloaded. We did a new release yesterday and that puts quite a stress on the servers when millions of people try to upgrade at the same time. Could you try again early next week and report whether it works then?

Hi

I changed to download from a server in Sweden, where I had no problem. My
computer is already updated.

I tried twice with the server in Denmark, with exactly the same result each
time.
The download speed to the server was normal, and didn't show any sign of
overload.

Regards,

Alain

I am marking this bug report as a duplicate of bug 464087. If you have additional information to provide, please feel free to add it to that report.

Actually, this might be a slightly different problem. Moving this to bug 463435. It is possible that the updates were not available yet at the local mirror.
