Hi folks,
When trying to upgrade with apt I get the error message below. Any ideas anyone, please?
javascript:emoticon(':?')

I found the answer here:
http://www.linuxtag.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=knoppix-en;action=display;num=1040675753

Which directs you to edit the /etc/apt/apt.conf file by adding

APT {
Cache-Limit "12582915";
};

This worked for me.

Good Luck!
