[Bug 901268] Re: Ubuntu Software Centre will not allow software downloads. Have to use terminal

 

Changed server to MALTA which seems to have solved the problem. Do not
really understand the problem or the solution but it may be that a new
install hangs on the UK server or something about the package is a bug
in the server choice drop down box????

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Ubuntu Software Centre will not allow software downloads. Have to use
  terminal

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This message box appears.

  Failed to download package files. Check your Internet connection.

  This is not an Internet problem as the package will download using
  SUDO in terminal. Thought possible that firestarter was blocking but
  uninstalled and made no difference. Don't know if this is a bug or not
  but using report a problem only has one option.
