How do I solve "Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing" error?
Try using
sudo apt-get update
then retry.
If sudo apt-get update
is also not working then follow the steps below:-
- Open
/etc/apt/sources.list
file. - Check the word after
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
in thesources.list
file, let the word bexyz
- Go to the address
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
and then click on dists. Now check whetherxyz
is present at this path. If it is not present, then replacexyz
with the element which is present in 'dists' such as:- saucy, lucid, trusty etc. - Now run
sudo apt-get update
command.
There is a command to point source urls in olds releases .
