Hey guys, i went to update to 9.10 ubuntu today, and i get this error at the software sources part. It won't continue.



W:Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/...ty/Release Unable to find expected entry multivers/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)


Any ideas?

The best I can say is download the regular ISO and install it anew (after backing up your data of course!).

You might also want to have your previous Ubuntu install CD ready, in case there is some serious problem with Karmic. I didn't have any problems upgrading, but I have heard that some people have.
