If by this you mean 'installs and removes software', then (apt-get,aptitude or synaptic) are contacting the server that contains a software repository as stated in the /etc/apt/sources.list file to get software packages. If there is a problem, it has nothing to do with 'access' and you can not affect the situation by changing anything on the berkley.edu server if you had the permission to do so. If you have problems with one software repository, normally it will be corrected by simply waiting, other that that you can try to change the info in /etc/apt/sources.list to a more reliable one. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
