Hi stevef thanks a lot for your help :54:
I have solved the issue just by change the repository from my country to the US

To try to solve this issue we can try a few things, but if it gets complicated a re-install will be easier.

Confirm which Linux Lite version you installed.
Your user profile says version 6.6 so these instructions are for Linux Lite 6.x, not for 5.x
If you installed version 5.x the edit will require the word 'emerald' instead of 'fluorite'.

Open a terminal as before (Ctrl Alt T)
Type in this command
Code:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list
Followed by enter.
When asked, type in your password followed by enter.

The terminal window will become a text editor showing the contents of the file.
You should see this line.

Code:
deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/  main
The cursor should be at at the beginning of the line over the 'd' of deb.

Use arrow keys to move the cursor along the line to the double space between 'linuxlite/' and 'main'
Type in the word
Code:
fluorite
so that the line looks like this
Code:
deb http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/ fluorite main
Make sure there is a space before and after 'fluorite'

Press Ctrl and X together to exit the editor
You should be asked 'Save modified buffer?'
Press y to confirm you want to save the change.
You should then be asked to confirm the File Name.
Press Enter
You should be returned to a normal terminal.
Check your change with this command
Code:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list
Now retry the update and post back
