I am trying to install a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 today, with minimal install mode, and I'm having trouble with package installation. I've installed some basic things like gcc and git. On sudo apt-get upgrade I hit:

Err:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/main amd64 git amd64 1:2.17.1-1ubuntu0.1
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.149 80]

and 3 other similar failures, then 4 of these

E: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/git/git_2.17.1-1ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.149 80]

I can edit etc/apt/sources.list to remove the offending URL, but on a clean install, it seems wrong to have to do this.

I've done sudo apt-get update of course.

Any ideas of why this is failing?

It looks like the websites are down. If that is the case, wait a few hours and see if the problems is corrected. – user68186 Apr 02 '19 at 17:32
I ended up editing sources.list and adding another mirror. – jws Apr 02 '19 at 18:34
