I have already installed Python 2.7 in the Linux system (distribution Linux Mint), and now I want to install IDLE for Python 2.7 with the following code:

sudo apt-get install idle

But it does not work, returning the error:

Unable to fetch some archives

What should I do to solve this problem?

  • post your full error. Isn't there any thing before(just a bit before) or after 'unable to fetch some archives'? – LotusUNSW Nov 10 '13 at 01:26

Run the following command:

sudo apt-get update

And then try installing it again.
