[PlanetCCRMA] Re: question about /var/cache/apt

[Gregory McCourt]

Hi Fernando,

Following a recent posting, I've also discovered that /var/apt/archive was full of RPMs, so I did an apt-get clear. Now, when I try to update I get this:

[root at ip-61 dos]# apt-get update
Get:1 http://ccrma.stanford.edu fedora/3/i386 release [1424B]
Fetched 1424B in 0s (22.0kB/s)

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I've tried multiple times at different times of the day and get the same. It's the same "Failed to fetch..." as well. I never had this before I did the apt-get clear: Did I mess something up? Is there a quick-fix to this?

Thanks,

Greg

 apt-get clean
should do the trick...
