(Just a bit of context: I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm trying to get the hang of the terminal and installing some programs on my PC. I was trying to install the media player mpv, but first it requested me to make sure that git is installed, so here I am.)


I typed git on the command line, and it said that the program was not installed. So I went ahead and:

$ sudo apt-get install git

And then I got this:

The following extra packages will be installed:
  git-man liberror-perl
Suggested packages:
  git-daemon-run git-daemon-sysvinit git-doc git-el git-email git-gui gitk
  gitweb git-arch git-bzr git-cvs git-svn
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  git git-man liberror-perl
0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 258 not upgraded.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

I gave the go ahead and it prompted me this:

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  liberror-perl git-man git
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? 

If I type "n", it simply exits saying "E: Some packages could not be authenticated". If I type "y", it gives me this instead:

Err http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main git-man all 1:1.8.3.2-1

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

So I ran it with "--fix-missing", but after repeating all of the steps it again exited this time saying "Unable to correct missing packages. E: Aborting install.". So I went for the last option which was to run:

$ sudo apt-get update

And this is what I got:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I don't know what to make of all of this. The last line is:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I thought it might've done the trick but I retraced all my steps to install git again but got the same errors, so apparently it didn't work. I'm at a loss and I don't know how to proceed, help is much appreciated, thanks.

You are running an outdated version of Ubuntu (saucy). Packages for it are not supported anymore. You will need to upgrade to a recent, supported version of Ubuntu first.

Here is how: How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release? (hat tip to @JonasCz).
