Update in update manager wouldn't install

Asked by Spencer Miller

When I go into update manager there are two updates that won't install. They are called xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core. when I click install updates a window pops up that says an error occurred. The following is in the description window below the error:

W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-common_1.7.6-2ubuntu7.8_all.deb

Works here. Try:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade

You can even try:

cd; wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xorg-core_1.7.6-2ubuntu7.8_i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./xserver-xorg-core_1.7.6-2ubuntu7.8_i386.deb; rm ./xserver-xorg-core_1.7.6-2ubuntu7.8_i386.deb; sudo apt-get -f install
