Question

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.

When I try to upgrage packages using sudo apt-get upgrade, I get the following output

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

and when I manualy went to these links I found out that these repositories are not to be found. I was wondering why am I getting these errors, is there anything that I am missing.

It likely has nothing to do with you, just try using another mirror. — mikewhatever, Aug 08 '14 at 11:15

Most of the time, index updates in the mirror have replaced those files with newer versions before your local indexes have been updated, so the ones referred to by your out-of-date indexes no longer exist, hence a 404. In this case simply sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again and you'll be fine.

If pain persists however, then consider switching to another mirror.
