"Failed to fetch" while updating
- by Farouk BA
I'm trying to update from ubuntu 12.10 lately but I keep getting the "Failed to fetch" error.
W: Failed to fetch

Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
I changed the server and deleted the source lists from /var/lib/apt/lists/ like some answers say but still. This is really annoiying.
