Hi!
Everytime I open Update Manager it shows that I have one update to install. It's strange that the update don't appear in the list, as you can see from attached picture. I hope this is not a virus or a spy tool from the developer.

Hi,

take a look at the update guide and use either Synaptic or the terminal to update and see if the problem goes away:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2247

You can start with this terminal command:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


Restart your PC after running the above command.

I used these command before and the message has not disappear.

At the end of these command i receive the message:

W: Failed to fetch http://deb.opera.com/opera/dists/stable ... tion-en_US Unable to connect to deb.opera.com:http:

W: Failed to fetch http://deb.opera.com/opera/dists/stable ... slation-en Unable to connect to deb.opera.com:http:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


I remember that after a complete installation of Zorin OS the update manger crushed during the updates installation. These could e the issue?

Hi,

try again tomorrow, they (the messages) are for the Opera browser and their repo may be down!.

Did you get any other updates?.

Thanks!
I have unchecked the Opera's source from the sources list, but it still shows the same message.

Hi,

check the list again, there are more than one for each repo, each PPA has a sources PPA too!.

Have you tried different server other than Main Server? Have you tried a Server based in your country?

Hi,

check out the update guide and see if there is anything you can do that might help:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2247

Change your software sources download location, force an update or deactivate the Opera repo are some of your choices!.

Yes, I've tried. It works just for a moment. After a restart of Update Manager I recieve the same error.

Hi,

try forcing an update with the following terminal command as it may be a dependencies problem:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f


Let us know if it helps.
