I have tested all answers of this link. Unfortunately, none of them solved my problem.

When I fire apt update up, it gives me:

  1. This was reported as a bug here and the solution that helped me was this

    or follow these steps:

    1. sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
    2. sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order::=gz
    3. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

    Hope it works for anyone with the same issue.

  2. Every repository holds a Release file that clients will look for when preforming apt commands. The Release file holds information about the available dists and components (such as bionic main universe and etc.). It specifies the locations and hash sums of every component. Once getting the relevant dist, the client then searches for a package list, containing every available debian, its location, its full name, version, hash sums, size and more. That is how you can differ packages from one repo to another.

    If this is an official repository and not a local one managed by you or your organization, there isn't much you can do regarding this specific repo. The administrators must correct this problem, as it is a server side problem.

    If you need need a package or an update and don't want to wait - you might want to change or add repositories of other regions by running relevant apt commands: add-apt-repository deb http://repo.tld/ubuntu distro component

    You can also edit the source list manually at /etc/apt/sources.list with the repos you seek, by adding repo paths: deb http://repo.tld/ubuntu distro component

    Also: if you're using a desktop OS, you can also use the software center.

  3. I had a problem like this with a docker build. It went away when I deleted the image it was probably caching from so

      docker image rm <your/image>

    then attempt to build again
