Error on apt-get update

[Mohan_Yadav]

I am trying to run update and i am getting this error :




prince@Devil-Device:~$ sudo apt-get update

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
prince@Devil-Device:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

[Bashing-om]

Mohan_Yadav; Ouch ??

If :


prince@Devil-Device:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe restricted multiverse

is all that the fetch file contains ->
Makes me wonder what kind of install this is .

maybe consider regenerating a sources.list ?
http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/

as a somewhat standard sources.list is :


sysop@1404mini:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

This is my work install, and I do not have a need here for any source code;
that lists serves my use case.
