[Linux-bruxelles] cannot update in lynx

[Manuel Schulte]

Hi Christina,

Your sources.list seems to use a mirror (http://ftp.port80.se/ubuntu/)
somewhere in Sweden.
May be the mirror is not active (or not always active) or not
reachable from Belgium (assuming you are connecting from belgium), try
to switch to another one... perhaps first try to use the Ubuntu's
default one, or switch to the Belgian mirror (still assuming you are
connecting from Belgium).

I think this will solve your upgrade issues.

Cheers,
Manu
