The problem could be that the repo was down for maintenance. Or maybe it doesn't like you. Anyrate make sure your internet connection is working and then try again, as I have been using it did have the same error earlier in the day, but now it works just fine.Quote:

"waiting for headers"Code:root@bt:~# apt-get update
0% [Waiting for headers]^C

0% [Waiting for headers]^C
root@bt:~# apt-get update
0% [Waiting for headers]^C
so, for the heck of it I ran "apt-get upgrade" ::
it's quite nice to get a relevant error message, eh? :DCode:root@bt:~# apt-get upgrade
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
so, I removed the file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
BOOM! updates and upgrades are flowing again :pCode:root@bt:~# rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
turns out, while I am posting this message, I noticed I had synaptic package manager open the WHOLE time... which causes the lock to begin with. so, yeah... I caused my own issue.Code:root@bt:~# apt-get update
