When trying to get the camera for the raspberry pi working, I had to start with an update and upgrade. When doing so, I received an error which I was forced to remove the update lists and try again. That is when I got this error in return.

I did an install -f another update, nothing i'm doing seems to be fixing this error. Any assistance on this would be most appreciated. I don't want to just remove the the problem package to be updated, i'd like the whole thing to be updated. Any thoughts?

first remove local apt cache by doing "apt-get clean", and then try your "apt-get install" again.

Note however, if your archives got corrupted in the first place, your SDcard might be low quality or broken (or fake), so you might want to check that too if problems persists (running fsck, checking SDcard with F3 or similar)

It seems that an upgrade and/or configuration has to take place for the apt-get.

Try:

sudo apt-get update
