SoCalRox Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 A couple of days ago, apt-get started acting up and it is clearly having issues, but the few things I've tried from posts I have found by googling have not yielded success. Any ideas? Here's what it says: Get:13 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial-updates/universe DEP-11 64x64 Icons [48.8 kB] Get:14 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial-security/main Sources [22.1 kB] Get:15 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial-security/universe Sources [5,508 B] Get:16 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial-security/main armhf Packages [70.3 kB] Get:17 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial-security/main Translation-en [32.6 kB] Get:18 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial-security/universe armhf Packages [21.8 kB] Get:19 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial-security/universe Translation-en [13.4 kB] Get:20 http://ports.ubuntu.com xenial-security/universe armhf DEP-11 Metadata [2,328 B] Fetched 925 kB in 4s (215 kB/s) Segmentation fault (core dumped) Reading package lists...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted June 9, 2016 Moderator Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Does it go through an apt-get update OK? Could be your sources/PPA's are bad... Only thing I can think of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalRox Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 No, this is in the update phase. I've replaced a couple of tables used by apt but it still belches. The snippet above is from an apt-get update, where it blows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted June 10, 2016 Moderator Share Posted June 10, 2016 Oh, OK, are you sure your sources are correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalRox Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 As sure as I can be. They worked one day, didn't work the next. Probably something got all munged up. Maybe I'll just replace them if I can figure out how to without having to rebuild the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted June 10, 2016 Moderator Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) 16.04 has brought me nothing but trouble... Why I use Mint these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Veteran Posted June 11, 2016 Veteran Share Posted June 11, 2016 Do sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Possibly the same issue that has plagued the 16.04 'buntus since release regarding apt. Stuff got broke, badly. The Mint Team is watching this one very carefully, making sure it doesn't pop up on their end. Lots of problems caused by this single issue.
