When trying to run sudo apt-get update I'm getting an error which says Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead., I've tried all the solutions mentioned for this but none seems to work, Here are some things that I've tried.

  • sudo apt-get clean then sudo apt-get update.
  • sudo apt-get upgrade --fix-missing.
  • Have also tried deleting the list files but it doesn't work either.and I'm running kubuntu 20.4, Can Someone please help me with this??

  • Please add complete text output of `sudo apt-get update` command to the question by [editing it](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1254294/edit). – N0rbert Jun 27 '20 at 14:24
  • @N0rbert The problem was fixed by changing the software source to main server. – ansme Jun 28 '20 at 05:18

If anyone couldn't get their package manager working by running the commands mentioned in the question, Then they can try changing the server to Main Server in their software sources (Note :- The following command is for kubuntu and might differ for any other distros). Open up the terminal and run the command sudo software-properties-kde. This will open up the software sources panel then from their you can just change the server to Main Server.
