[SOLVED] Update Manager Error

[EdSquareCat]

When I try to update with Update Manager I I get this error:

 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.

And it tells me it "failed to fetch" a bunch of packages.

How do I alleviate this?

If you're using Synaptic package manager, click on Reload before looking for packages; that'll download the current package list.

Make sure you're connected to the internet first.

If you still get the error, post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list

When I try to reload I get the same error.

Here is /etc/apt/sources.list:

Hmmm, I wonder if it's the feisty-backports? Feisty was no longer supported as of last October, I think they finally got around to removing the directories from the server.

[Alt + F2], gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

And comment out the two feisty-backports lines, save, then try the update again.

Edit: Alternate:

If for some reason you need backports, instead of commenting out, edit "feisty-backports" to read "intrepid-backports" . Save and update.

Ah, thank you. That seems to have fixed the problem. I have one more question: libgtk1.2 has been hanging out in my updates section for a while, but I can't select it. Anyone know what this is?

[devils casper]

Compatible versions of libgtk1.2 dependencies are not available yet. Wait for a few days. It will be installed.

Ah thanks.
