Ubuntu

Error Installing Packages

Asked by Nate Long

I try to install packages, and I get an MD5Sum error. It says that it failed to fetch <the file name> due to an m5ssum error. I thought at first it was my repository I was using to install e17, but then I tried installing subversion, and I tried installing something else too, and I got it from those repositories too. I cleared my /var/cache/apt/archive downloads, and it didn't matter. I have no idea what to do now, and I'm going crazy. It happens in synaptic and with an aptitude install <app name>

any ideas?

Thanks for your question.

Open a terminal and report the output of these 2 commands:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-cache policy subversion e17

I didn't include e17 in there because it didn't find it for some reason. If I use aptitude it does, but not apt-get.

Could you also copy-paste the output of these 2 commands so we have the complete error:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install subversion

Yep. I'll have to do it in the morning because my laptop is still at work.

Here is the sudo apt-get update (which for some reason completed just fine this time. Usually I get a bunch of bzip2 errors). I should probably be using a pastebin, so if you'd prefer that, let me know!

Also, I just wanted to throw it out there that it isn't just subversion. I tried doing an update last night, and there were supposed to be 76 updates. When I came back to my computer this morning, I had 76 MD5Sum mismatches.......

Please try:

apt-get update
apt-get --fix-missung upgrade

If that does not help

apt-get remove libsvn1 subversion

Can you help with this problem?
