Comment 6 for bug 424462

I have just had this same bug occur for me I had successfully mirrored the security and updates repositories and tried to do the repositories of backports and Karmic proposed. I stopped it during its process and changed one item. And tried to rerun sudo apt-mirror but it gave me an error "apt-mirror is already running, exiting at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 187". I went to the directory you mentioned /var/spool/apt-mirror/var/apt-mirror.lock to delete apt-mirror.lock but it wasn't there. Got any suggestions as what I must do to fix this problem and get apt-mirror to work again. Worst option is uninstall mirror and reinstall and see if it rectifies the problem
