Unable to apt-get update

Support

Hello, I've been constantly getting the following error for the past 6 months while trying to update our system. After googling a bit, it seems that it could be a proxy or network "problem" on our campus. If so, is there any mirror for http://archive.turnkeylinux.org/debian ? Or is there another explanation to this problem ?

Thanks.

And I suggest that you try removing the apt lists files, like this:

mv /var/lib/apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists.old.d
mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial

This renames the existing apt lists and recreates the file heirarchy.

Then try updating you're system

apt-get update

Hopefully you are all go now!
