The last few days the update manager returns these connection failures, but my internet is working fine, so I don't see what the problem might be :?:

Re: Problem in updating

I'm seeing this today
The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available, an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise, the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address is correct in 'Repositories' under 'Settings'.

Re: Long time without get any update

Post by pa blum »

I also have been looking at the dread red "X" on my automatic updates icon for more than a month. It's behaving as though the address for the packages-list online has changed or has otherwise become inaccessible. Being that numerous users with varied systems are having the same problem at the same time, doesn't it make sense that something has changed online at the source, and not with anything we users have done? (As for me, I haven't made any, even minor, changes in well over a half year.)

When I try to run the updates, I get the dialog box titled:"Downloading package information"
and its progress band says:"Downloading file 70 of 97"
and then all activity dies.
After I finally disturb it, it gives me a few messages like:
"W: Failed to fetch http://packages.linuxmint.com/dists/kat ... elease.gpg"
etc., and finally:
"Unable to connect to packages.linuxmint.com:http:"

All other online activity on my system is working normally.

I have the same issue a few minutes ago... Attempting to connect to the package server sometimes works, but mostly fails...

+1, though using synaptic at least allowed me to install the updates - VCL (again...) and a new kernel image.

error in getting mint update

Post by komusica »

Hi I am getting an error in regular mint update from two days.
It says
W: Failed to fetch http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main ... .7_all.deb
Could not connect to packages.linuxmint.com:80 (204.45.82.194). - connect (110: Connection timed out)
Any ideas how can I update it.
Thanks in advance.

Some work was done on the servers yesterday and today to improve the situation. It seems the changes just done have resolved the issue of not being able to update from Linux Mint repository (at least, I got my updates just now :)).

I was also able to get the updates I needed today at 0730 PST. It was slow, but I guess with every "tom-dick-and-harry" needing updates, that could be expected.
Glad to see they got the digital hair-balls out of the system and that we can resume Mint Updates.

Thanks for all your input. I love this Forum.

And May what ever Holiday you celebrate bring you Love and Joy.
