[Ubuntu-ZW] Error fetching archives using apt-get install

[Raymond Swart]

Hi Gyron,

First off did you change your sources.list to point to the local
repository? Who are you connecting to the net through? I noticed the way
the Zimbabwe Repo has been setup it will only accept connections from
within Zimbabwe, and the way powertel has setup their 3G network you
connect through Botswana therefore rendering the use of the local repo
useless.

Let me know if anything helped?

Many Thanks,
