apt-get does not connect to repository for update

Question

When I use sudo apt-get update, I get the following errors:

Err:1 http:/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease
  Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111: Connection refused)
Err:2 http:/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease
  Unable to connect to localhost:4001:

W: Failed to fetch http:/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/InRelease  Unable to connect to localhost:4001:
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

What can I do to fix this?

If you are trying to use a proxy, please explain in your question. If not, can you go into your network settings and disable it system-wide? Is the http_proxy environment variable set? If so, what happens when you unset it and try running sudo apt-get update again? Please [edit] your question to provide details about all this. If any of those suggestions fixes your problem we can mark this as a duplicate; otherwise, please paste the output of grep -HFi proxy /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* (or mention if there's none). Thanks! — Eliah Kagan, Jan 12 '17 at 08:01
Thank you Eliah for prompt reply. I am new to linux. I don't think, i use proxy. Once, I tried to use Tor but it did not work. I disabled it. I also tried all the comments on the other post that suggested . I ran grep -HFi..... in terminal and there was no output. — Mohammad Bagherieh, Jan 12 '17 at 09:26

I think you either have lost internet connection, or are working behind a proxy. Either that or the ppas that you are trying to update have been deprecated.

If you are behind a proxy, this solution works: How to run "sudo apt-get update" through proxy in commandline?
