For the last 3 days I am facing an issue with 'apt-get update'. I am

================

I tried few suggestions from web. One common solution is

sudo apt-get clean
cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

But I was unlucky with that! :-( :-(

*_Note:_ I installed Oracle-XE in my system 5 days before.*

My Ubuntu version - Ubuntu 11.10

Once the Oracle-XE is removed from the system, the issue is fixed. Some problems coming in Ubuntu 11.10 apt-get after installing the Oracle-XE.
