Unfortunately I am with am with a very slow EVDO (Huawei) Internet connection.
Recently I switched from win 10 64 bit To Linux Mint 18. I managed to install some programs that were not in the original setup, with the help of the program’s instructions. Now the inbuilt Firefox tells me I am critically outdated. I knew that there was an automatic update, but that gives me the following error. In the manual I cannot find a solution. How can I repair the following error
Process ID 1671

Thanks for help
This error can happen when fetching the latest repositories during ” apt-get update ” was interrupted, and a subsequent ” apt-get update ” is not able to resume the interrupted fetch. In this case, remove the content in /var/lib/apt/lists before retrying ” apt-get update “.
