sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade --fix-missing

Output of update is :

  Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'
Err:2 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease
  Temporary failure resolving 'fr.archive.ubuntu.com'

  • What output did you get from sudo apt-get update as no output shows a problem as you have no sources available. (FYI: You've tagged lubuntu which is EOL for 16.04 LTS, only Ubuntu server (no desktop), Ubuntu desktop (Unity 7), Kylin or Ubuntu Core 16 are still supported, all flavors are EOL. The output from sudo apt-get update is where I'd look first for clues though. – guiverc Dec 03 '19 at 10:29

    Please don't provide additional information in comments, edit your question and add extra detail there. Greater formatting is allowed in questions/answers, it's easier to read etc.... – guiverc Dec 03 '19 at 10:33

    You have a temporary network issue, which on a VM usually means problems with the host setup in my experience (it's disabled, wrongly configured, etc). It could also be you're behind firewalls, proxy .... but I'd check your host first. – guiverc Dec 03 '19 at 10:35

It seems is just a stupid mistake I have done, I'have forgot to add DNS server name in my interfaces configurations, so all my packages can't resolves a domaine names.

Solution was :adding the line 

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8

on the file /etc/network/interfaces
