(Quick Tip) : Couldn’t create temporary file to work with /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-security_Release – mkstemp (2: No such file or directory)

by

I got following error while running apt-get update on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Error :

E: Couldn’t create temporary file to work with /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-security_Release – mkstemp (2: No such file or directory)

Solution :

Try the following, hopefully it will fix it:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists /tmp
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
