Hi Harish,

One more hack you can do is b= y following the thread : http= ://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to= -me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror. So what I want to convey you is try chan= ging the mirror. And lets see how that will help you. Note: Please take a b= ackup of your orignal sources.list file. Try this only if you are *not* hav= ing trouble with downloading the gz files mentioned by Shantanu.

Which basically means something went wrong when downloading these= files. Try sudo apt-get update few more times till this is fixed. If it st= ill doesnt go away, try a different network connection. Failure to download= these is causing the problems installing the packages.

It could= be because our college's internet service has a lot of restrictions . = It does have a lot of sites blocked. But I don't know if packages would= have been blocked . I always get such errors and we usually neglect them .=

Looks like I'll have to look for another network connection = . This is getting really tedious now=C2=A0 :P
