I have installed Ubuntu 16.04.02 a couple of minutes ago. When I want to update my system:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Ubuntu does not update itself. The error message is above:

error list

The problem is with sources.list. But how can i solve this problem? Please help me!

  • try this list generator https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ . back up your current sources.list file then replace the contents with what the list generator gives – ravery Jul 05 '17 at 16:38

Seems your /etc/apt/sources.list is broken..

Usually your it should look somehow like (at least for my Ubuntu Servers its looks like this)

# newer versions of the distribution.

try this: disable any ppa. disable ipv6 for now , run: sudo service resolvconf restart , run sudo apt update first

if that doesn't fix it, then you may want to try using a mirror from software & update -> Ubuntu Software - Download from -> other -> select the best server.
