Comment 7 for bug 59353

I have also received this error while upgrading from 6.06 to 6.10.

Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

If you would like me to attach portions of logs, I would be happy to do so.

Are there any workarounds?

I tried the suggestion above for removing partial packages

sudo rm -v /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*

and then re-ran gksu "update-manager -c -d"

and I still got the same error.

Thanks.
