apt-get 404 Not Found error


I'm trying to install ssh and I'm getting a 404 Not Found error.

Is this a problem with me or the repository? Is there some other way I can get the ssh package?

Thanks.

There is the clue even though I have not experienced this problem before it seems that you need to run the command.

sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

---------------------

If that does not work then you can always change or update your source.list

Here is a website for generating a sources list.

http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-mati

Here is the command to open up your sources list.

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

-----------------------

If you use the website then you will probably need to import the GPG keys which is easy. These two commands will do so. Once you see the output place the keys in the commands below where it says KEY. So delete KEY and place the GPG code there. (Bunch of numbers.) Remember you will have to enter each GPG for both commands.

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv KEY
gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -

Thanks. I did the --fix-missing. It hangs for a long time on:

99% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (146.137.96.15)]

Then gives a bunch of 404 errors.

My only guess is that the server is having trouble.

I got the same message followed by a long wait and eventually another bash prompt.
