Hi All,

I'm receiving the error "Failed to update apt cache: unknown reason" while attempting to configure EDF 7.3 cluster on Ubuntu 18.04. Could you please check and assist?

Installer Version:

root@m2-maprts-vm137-172:~# dpkg --list| grep -i mapr

ii mapr-installer 1.18.0.3.202308030617 all MapR: Installer package

ii mapr-installer-definitions 1.18.0.3.202308030617 all MapR: Installer Definitions package.

root@m2-maprts-vm137-172:~#

 

Error in “mapr-installer.log”:

Re: Failed to update apt cache: unknown reason

Hi Satish,

This is more of an issue at the ubuntu end. 

following commands in order to clean the apt-cache:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*  or move it /home or /tmp .
sudo apt-get update

and try again.
