[ubuntu-nz] updates not installing ??

[Ian Beardslee]

Hmm seems strange to me.

If you go with what Gary suggests that should do it.  Although from the
terminal, I'd be going ..

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If that is still seems to going wrong, could you try ..

 sudo apt-get update > ~/updatefail.txt
 sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade >> ~/updatefail.txt

And either email that file through to me (probably not the list) or copy
the contents into http://paste.ubuntu.com and send the link.  That file
will be in your home directory.

Cheers,
Ian
