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

What could be the issue here? How do I solve it?

Try using 

sudo apt-get update

then retry.

If sudo apt-get update is also not working then follow the steps below:-

  1. Open /etc/apt/sources.list file.
  2. Check the word after http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ in the sources.list file, let the word be xyz
  3. Go to the address http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and then click on dists. Now check whether xyz is present at this path. If it is not present, then replace xyz with the element which is present in 'dists' such as:- saucy, lucid, trusty etc.
  4. Now run sudo apt-get update command.

Try changing http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu in /etc/apt/sources.list, then run apt-get update

(You can check if your particular distro is there by accessing the http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ in your browser and then select /dists, but if it is not on security.ubuntu.com, it should be on old-releases

There is a command to point source urls in old releases.

You can find a good explanation in this github gist.

Try changing to main server under software and updates in system settings. Then use sudo apt-get update and then try installing. I had a same issue while installing synaptic package manager.
