答案1
我认为你不明白 main 和 universe 是什么。它们不是包，而是可用包的列表。
运行sudo apt-get update会下载这些包列表，但您必须运行sudo apt-get upgrade才能实际安装可用的更新。
因此，始终更新主包和 Universe 包列表至关重要。但是下载量不应达到 13MB - 您的问题实际上是此问题的重复：apt-get 更新列表的大小太大 。
答案2
编辑：问题已编辑，因此回答此问题
创建 shell 脚本，
gksudo gedit /usr/bin/update-apt
将下面的脚本粘贴到 gedit 中，获取文件名XXXX并XXX按照/var/lib/apt/lists/脚本中的注释进行操作（在我的例子中，这些文件的大小较大，为 natty 9 和 28 MB）。
#!/bin/bash
sudo touch /var/lib/apt/lists/XXXX # XXXX means full name of file ending with '_main_binary-i386_Packages'
sudo touch /var/lib/apt/lists/XXX # XXX means full name of file ending with '_universe_binary-i386_Packages'
sudo apt-get update
授予执行权限
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/update-apt
现在，无论何时您想sudo apt-get update尝试update-apt。
你做到了。
这是针对第一个未经编辑的问题给出的答案
点击Alt+F2并运行software-properties-gtk。或打开Software Sources
取消勾选即可
Canonical-supported Open Source software (main)
Community-maintained open Source software (universe)
然后击close然后击reload
就是这样。
