Title: Unable to set software sources to best UK server
Post by: pompeyrodney on June 28, 2017, 03:14:30 PM

When I try to change my sources to the best/ fastest server in UK, it returns the fastest server as being mirrors.nl.eu.org. Please see this link https://justpaste.it/18d7z (https://justpaste.it/18d7z) for the errors I receive. It would also seem that the extras repository is causing an issue as I have had to remove that from my sources.list file.
Many thanks

Try the Package System Repair utility in Lite Tweaks.

Code: [Select]

Sorry Jerry but I don't believe this should be solved, it still returns an american server when you select uk, and when the cache is reloaded you get:
