[Bio-linux-list] Update error Red icon

[Tauqeer Alam]

Hi All

I was trying to install python 3.6, which I think was installed without
problem. Now I get a "red circle with horizontal white line" in the taskbar
at the top, and the error message "An error occurred when checking for
updates". My computer works fine otherwise without a problem, except that
the little red circle is always there on the top. I tried “sudo apt-get -f
install, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade” commands without any
success. I also removed python 3.6, still the error exists. Could anyone
guide me how to fix this error. Here is the output of the upgrade command-


$ sudo apt-get upgrade
