I am new to Ubuntu and SE. I have recently installed Xenial 16.04 to my test server and I have tried to run a apt-get update before trying to install any packages. Unfortunately, it seems to have failed with the following error.

I have tried to disable IPv6, run apt-get autoclean, apt-get-clean and then an update again. Is it normal I still get all the other links showing Ignore in the update process after a clean?

  • Use an alternate mirror - see https://askubuntu.com/questions/682532/ubuntu-repository-change – Panther Oct 09 '17 at 08:11
  • Tried adding a nearer mirror shows the same result. – Reuben C Oct 09 '17 at 08:31
  • You posted the same repository. Use an alternate mirror. If you do not need the source packages disable them (deb-src) , just a general comment. If you have this problem with multiple mirrors you will have to wait or file a bug report as there is no way for you to fix this. – Panther Oct 09 '17 at 08:38
  • It looks like you're using "my.archive.ubuntu.com" instead of "us.archive.ubuntu.com" like the other repositories that are commented out in your sources.list. Is that on purpose? If so, is it the second mirror you tried? – one_new_message Oct 09 '17 at 20:50
  • I have modified all into "my.archive.ubuntu.com" since it is closer to my location. It seems that the environment I am hosted on is blocked with a firewall it seems as I was able to run it once I host the same machine in my home environment. – Reuben C Oct 10 '17 at 03:19

The error is likely to be caused by the Firewall implemented in the network layer instead blocking all the APT-GET updates to work. I have moved my machine to an alternate network and the error seems to be resolved.
