Repository issue? apt-get update fails

I'm getting a bunch of weird errors with 64.repository.backtrack-linux.org, all.repository..., and source.repository...

apt-get update fails, goes through and Ign a bunch of URLs and then the last few lines say "failed to fetch http://64.repository..."

nslookup resolves the backtrack-url.org hostname just fine and I can browse the site. Any thoughts?

Everything works here:

Code:

Re: Repository issue? apt-get update fails

I've encountered this when the environment variable http_proxy is incorrectly set. Do you have it set by any chance, and if so, what is it?

Re: Repository issue? apt-get update fails
I am having the same issue. Whereas previously I was perfectly able to do an apt-get update and an apt-get upgrade I cannot now seem to get any response.
- BT 5
- GNOME
- 32 Bit
- Dual-boot with Win 7
The error I see on scree is:

Code:

Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?

Thanks!

Re: Repository issue? apt-get update fails

I'm still having problem on update. Do I need to import new key to work? If so, how can I accomplish?

See if you are behind a proxy...If so, you need to modify the apt....

root@bt:~# apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Error! E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. Current value: 25165824. (man 5 apt.conf) E: Error occurred while processing libmp3splt-ogg (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_universe_binary-i386_Packages W: Unable to munmap E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Re: Repository issue? apt-get update fails

To original poster:
I'd don't know if this will work, but try setting your DNS to the Google DNS servers. If you are using Wicd, click preferences and under global dns, DNS Domain 192.168.1.1 (Your routers IP) and DNS Server 1: 8.8.8.8 , DNS Server 2: 8.8.4.4, restart the connection using the global preferences. (I don't think this will work cause you are already able to resolve with nslookup but it might be worth a try)

For XXX:

Code:

pico /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf

and add to the end of the file:

Code:

APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";

and the run:

Code:

apt-get clean apt-get update --fix-missing

For Graysinn and Gemjuno, can you double check your sources make sure you have the right ones. I see one/both? of you are using revolution, whereas I'm using lucid. Ooops I just realized your posts are old :p I'm tired but I'll leave this in for others heh

xxxlisxxx if my fix doesn't work for you, can you please make a new post, as I believe its a different issue than the others :D
