There were some issues communicating with your local mirror of Ubuntu. Could you please try the installation again?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We noticed that you were installing the LTS version of Ubuntu using an older version of the installation media. The latest point release of 12.04 is 12.04.4. Please try installing from that version of the installation media and see if that resolves your issue. Thanks in advance!

I installed 14.04 not 12.04. Automatic email might need updating:)

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
