Thread: Server Update and Upgrade


hi
although no expert, have been running lamp ubuntu 10.04 server 2 years host glpi database.
update once month via ssh without trouble, few months ago started refusing saying unable exclusive lock. hadn't bothered doing because had no real problems. today started @ thinking had gone on long enough...
stuck "99% [1 translation-en_gb bzip2 0b]" errors during execution of sudo apt-get update.
morning have tried examine sources.list , edit it, didn't help. have cleared /var/lib/apt/lists/partial directory , renamed lists folder .old.
cd /var/lib/apt...i.e
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
in addition, tried upgrade 12.04 precise in hope might resolve issue, aborted half way through.
there lot of posts on , similar issues, problem don't understand update process enough pick bones out of problem , come sensible diagnosis.
appreciated
