Synaptic error message while downloading a resumed package

vharishankar · 04-10-2005, 03:18 AM

Code:

W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.pacific.net.au/debian/...6.2-4_i386.deb
  Bad header line [IP: 208.185.25.35 80]

I keep getting this error when I try to install this package again. By accident I had stopped the download halfway, but whenever I try install it, it keeps failing.

Anybody knows how to re-download the whole package instead of resume (which I presume is the default functionality)?

in synaptic, go to preferences, then temporary files, then delete cached files.

Thank you, Chris. That works!

Never imagined that the solution would be as simple as that.
