Failed to fetch on apt-get update

  • 772

I'm running into the following error when I run sudo apt-get update:

E: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/main/dep11/icons-64x64.tar  Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_xenial-security_main_dep11_icons-64x64.tar.gz - open (13: Permission denied) [IP: 91.189.88.149 80]

Any thoughts as to what might be causing this or how it should best be resolved?

  1. Just came across this same problem. I fixed it by changing the Download Location in Software & Updates settings. Seems that the UK Mirror has issues with this repo.
