Whenever I tried explicitly checking for an update, it said "your system is already up-to-date". I wrongly guessed at first that this was due to a network issue proxy etc leading to no updates being found. Clicking this new button worked fine, with no other network or settings changes. In my case, the error messages start showing after upgrade to ubuntu When I changed network proxy settings from Automatic to Disabled error disappeared. Run sudo apt update in terminal and check what error it says run software-properties-gtk and go to other software and uncheck all the error causing ones and then run sudo apt update it will work.

Another cause might be firewall, but I'm not sure :. Hope it helps. Community Bot 1. I did a sudo apt-get update from terminal and got a bunch of errors. I went the the software and updates and deselected the sources that were causing the errors - I hope I didn't screw anything up by doing that.
There is one source that is 'timing out. I just did the sudo apt-get update and ran software updater and it worked. Not sure if it was the errors or the timing out source or both.
In my case, I could reach all the repository URLs in a browser just fine. Disabling that PPA in software-properties-gtk made everything work again. One problem could be: check in Software Updates if you have a "ppa" from Tor-browser. Delete that "ppa" and try again. Good luck! But it could happen that the server your system is using, has not been updated from the main server yet.
This could happen for several reasons. What you can do to fix the error is to change the server to Main Server and you can continue with the updates smoothly. Save your change. It will update the software cache. Run the Update Manager again. The update should work just fine now. A similar update error is failed to download repository information which can be fixed easily as well. I hope this tutorial helped you to fix the failed to download package files error in Ubuntu. Any questions or suggestions are always welcomed.
Also a movie buff with a soft corner for film noir. This would be a great guide for getting your updater to work…… if the cache updater he mentioned worked. Please log in again.
