Hello

Remove duplicate sources.
Press Alt+F2 and type this

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

It will open sources.list file in Gedit with root privileges.
Delete all contents and add these sources :

deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse

Save file and execute this

sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Or if it doesnt work,

Click System > Administration > Software Sources
Click the Download From menu and choose other
Click the Select Best Server button and wait till it finds one.
Click Choose Server
Run the update manager again.

Regards

Bhavani Shankar.
