Hello.

Did you activate the universe and multiverse repositories? If not, do it, reload the locally stored package information and retry!

That's actually a bug

i too had this problem
first Using Synaptic Package Manager, remove the package flashplugin-nonfree.
Alternatively, you can run this command in the Terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal): sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree

go to system-administration-software sources
u will be prompted for ur passwod, just enter it
a window will appear with many tabs
in the updates tab click the checkbox (1) important security updates
                                                            (2) recomended updates
                                                            (3)pre-realeased updates
then while closing the window a dialog box will appear, u just click the reload button
then go system-administration-update manager if prompted for passwod give it
u will see see updates by now, but click the CHECK button the u will find at the bottom, it will download updates

hi, 10111 i like to know how to activate the universe and multiverse repositories.i do not know what is that and how to activate that.

hi neo this is a big list! i have download them and install but same problem?
I also like to ask you whatever i have downloaded on my HDD if i can install that updates on my another pc what have no internet connection ?if yes, then how?

Hello,

You can activate the repositories by System -> Systemmanagement -> Software-Repositories. Then tick the items with "multiverse" and "universe" and "Close" the dialog.
As far as I know you can install the downloaded archives to other maschines. After installing the updates to the current maschine you can find all the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives. I think it should work if you burn them on CD, ship the CD to the other computer and install them manually using "dpkg --install [packagepath + name]". It might also work if you just copy them into /var/cache/apt/archives and run apt-get upgrade. But attention: I'm not sure if this will work, so: No warranty!
