While trying to update my computer i get the following error
W:Failed to fetch http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/dists/<precise>/main/binary-i386/Packages 403 Forbidden
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Please help.
That means in your sources.list is an URL entry that cannot be accessed (403 Forbidden).
You can remove the line from your sources.list:
Open the file /etc/apt/sources.list with an editor and look for the lines that look like this:
deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/dists/<precise>/main/binary-i386
Now comment them out. Add a # before each of those lines that they look like this and save the file:
#deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/dists/<precise>/main/binary-i386
Maybe there are other files in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. You have to check all files in that directory too.
When finished, type sudo apt-get update in a terminal and your update process should work again.
