Could not download all repository indexes

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 in the preferences is correct.

There is a problem with your sources list

http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/petra/main/source/Sources

Ubuntu Petra doesn't exist it should read saucy not petra.

You can try this

http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=152207#p792923

or open a terminal and copy and paste this into it:

Code: Select all

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list

then ensure your sources list looks like this or copy and paste this into the file:

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ petra main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ saucy partner

# deb http://archive.removed/ubuntu saucy-removed apps games

then save the file then copy and paste this into the terminal

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

That should fix your sources list.

Thank you

Hi

Editing the list actually didn't worked, the list was correct but it still tried to use url's with petra instead of saucy.
I got the feeling that this list wasn't used, however I solved it by editing the url's manually, that helped.

hmm... I'm getting this \/ at the end of the command log after doing as you said - editing text file in geddit after loading through terminal

Any more ideas??
