I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.

sudo apt-get update works fine, but when I run sudo apt-get upgrade I get these errors: (NOTE: I have already changed the download server from source.list to archive.ubuntu.com instead of pt.archive.ubuntu.com)

/etc/apt# sudo apt-get upgrade --fix-missing

  • You may have problems with your internet, or you may be using proxy. Apt uses its own proxy, so to configure it, refer this link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/257290/configure-proxy-for-apt – Olimjon May 10 '18 at 16:46

Try seeing if your file is corrupted in your local apt repository. Reset it using

sudo rm -fr /var/lib/apt/lists/*

  • No, it didn't worked!!! The problem stays the same!!! – R.Lopes May 10 '18 at 16:21
  • Sometimes the packages are held back because they require the installation of new packages and sudo apt-get upgrade does not install new packages. To install the required new packages you can run Code: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade To note this only updates the current release and does not upgrade that to another, newer, release (like upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04, it will not do that)

    Basically apt-get upgrade only updates packages that exist on the system. But will never install new packages. apt-get dist-upgrade will install new packages if the updates require them.

  • I've done that but... problem remains... Error 403 forbidden!!! What else can I try? – R.Lopes May 14 '18 at 13:16
  • See if this article might help: https://www.tecmint.com/upgrade-ubuntu-16-04-to-16-10/ – Rokko May 14 '18 at 17:50
  • Just summarizing the guide.

    sudo apt update sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install update-manager-core sudo nano /etc/upgrade-manager/release-upgrades

    prompt=normal sudo do-release-upgrade

    Should do it for you.
