failed to load the package list/Could not initialize the package information

Asked by Grace Sundman

Could not initialize the package information

An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:

'E:The package ttf-mscorefonts-installer needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.'

>I'm a newbie with the Terminal & I've made a mess of downloading while the Terminal was stuck on updating, or I believe this was the problem.

 Help would be so appreciated with commands. Thank you.

Your sources.list configuration file is completely empty (except for comment lines), that means that there is no repository source defined to download packages for installation and/or upgrade.

Please provide the output of the terminal command

ok, no older copy available, we have to create the contents from the sample file.

Try the following:

Open a terminal and issue the following commands:

wget https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/sample/sources.list
sudo cp sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list
rm sources.list
sudo apt-get update

and copy/paste all output into this question document as done before.

Thank you so very much Manfred Hampl. You're awesome!
i do have a few other questions regarding simpler things like what should I use as a new backup system as deju dup system has failed. Don't know whether I should ask it here?

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#19

1. One remark to your original problem. Before you declare the problem solved, you should try a few more things.

What is the output of the terminal commands

ubuntu-support-status
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

2. Each question should be about one single topic only. With respect to backup you should create a new one. Maybe it is possible to get deja-dup running? Please provide information about what was failing with it.

I do not see any error message any more, and the recent patch of the wget package was correctly installed. So it seems your package management system is back to normal operations.

To confirm this, please provide the output of the terminal commands

uname -a
lsb_release -a
sudo dpkg --audit
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-cache policy ttf-mscorefonts-installer

You mistyped the first three commands. Please try again with the commands

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 437D05B5 3E5C1192
uname -a
lsb_release -a
sudo dpkg --audit
sudo apt-get update

You better use copy and paste with the commands instead of trying to retype them

If this is corrected now, thank you so much! Can you help me with another posted problem please?

There is still something wrong with the signature keys for verifying the packages (only a warning, but still an annoyance).

What is the output of the commands

date
sudo apt-key list
sudo apt-key finger
ls -l /etc/apt/trusted*

How is it now?

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#32

I no not have an explanation for the fact that the two BADSIG warnings still show up. My expectation was that any of the recent commands should have solved that.

Next idea, try:

sudo apt-key del 3E5C1192 437D05B5
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-keyring ubuntu-extras-keyring
sudo apt-get update

and copy/paste the output as done before.

Can you help with this problem?
