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

Question

While using the command

sudo apt-get upgrade

I lost my internet. When I again used the command

sudo apt-get upgrade

I got the following error:

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

What to do? I am using 14.04 version.

Answer 1

What happened when you tried:

sudo  apt-get update

Have you also tried:

sudo apt-get upgrade --fix-missing

It seems like it is trying to tell you how to fix the problem. Don't be afraid to give it a try. If it doesn't work, come back.
