Hi

Every time I try to update the list of packages I get this notice:
Failed to fetch http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/dists/dwyn/Release Unable to find expected entry universe/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Failed to fetch http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/dists/dwyn-updates/Release Unable to find expected entry universe/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Failed to fetch http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/dists/dwyn-security/Release Unable to find expected entry universe/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Failed to fetch http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/dists/dwyn-backports/Release Unable to find expected entry universe/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I tried switching servers, but still got an error. Any ideas?

I once got the same error. It's due to the distro not having any such thing as a "universe" repository anymore, only one main repository and the extras.

Edit your sources.list file with a text editor and change the first lines to this:

# Trisquel repositories for supported software and updates

deb http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel dwyn main extras
deb http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel dwyn-updates main extras
deb http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel dwyn-security main extras

#Backports

deb http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel dwyn-backports main extras
Exclude backports or any other section you don't use.

I hope that helped.

That worked, thanks, but I still can't auto upgrade to awen.

I've been told in IRC that the auto update will be enabled this weekend :)
