try this solution
1. Visit: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ and generate a new source list.
2. Edit your source list
gksu gedit /etc/apt/source.list
3. Copy the generated source list from the website and paste it over the existing list
4. Save the source list
5. update source list
sudo apt-get update
6. Run the update manager
gksu “update-manager -c”
Hope this helps

Erm, would it be too obvious to suggest a clean install?

You can try manual to uncompress the archive and see what is the error which is returned.
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2
bzip2 -d Packages.bz2
If no error this means that the Packages.bz2 downloaded by apt is corrupted.

When I go to http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ it says:
Sorry, the page you requested could not be found.

I have the similar problem.
Why the heck is source-o-matic closed?
Then, why the heck is there any alternative site for that?
I don’t want to edit my source.list manually, even though I could.

I had a similar error a long time ago, and it was due to a bad setting of my date/timezone etc…
Hope a ntpdate will help you ?
(I don’t think so it’s so easy, but…)

Admin – thanks for the excellent advice. It worked for me.

Hi,
I’m having the same problem, but I’m a total newb so I’m not really sure how to implement the solution in response 2. (the website is no longer available.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.
