Hi

I-ve 8.04 and I tryed to install thunderbird by sudo apt-get install thunderbird. I got the following error:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I guess security.ubuntu.com is the problem. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I suggest running the following 2 commands to install thunderbird:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install thunderbird

If that does not help, then try these 2 commands instead:

wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/thunderbird/thunderbird_2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i thunderbird_2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1_i386.deb

Notice that version 2.0.0.19 of Thunderbird is now obsolete. Current version of Thunderbird in http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/thunderbird/ is version 2.0.0.21

Regards,

Mark
