When I type the command sudo apt-get update on Ubuntu 14.04, it downloads most of the files but the other ones say for example:

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/openshot.developers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

Now, whenever I install a PPA key, it installs but when I run sudo apt-get update it fails to download the files. This applies to EVERY PPA out there.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this is not a problem with apt-get, the location you are trying to download from does not exist. If you look at https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa there is no trusty (14.04) ppa. – NGRhodes Apr 14 '15 at 22:20
  • Well, why don't you help me since that is in my sources.list? I never changed anything. That's default. – JasonVS 1 Apr 14 '15 at 22:35
  • No its not default, adding PPAs changes your sources list. You have added PPAs that do not have any packages for the version of Ubuntu you have installed. – NGRhodes Apr 14 '15 at 23:06
  • You're wrong. I added the OBS PPA and it said that it was for 14.04 trusty. – JasonVS 1 Apr 15 '15 at 01:30

As NGRhodes points out, there simply isn't a 14.04 version of this PPA. You say you get this for every PPA... If that's really the case, you're either picking a load of duff PPAs without checking they have a 14.04 version, there's something else going on.

Anyway, for this one, you have a couple of options:

  • You can continue as you are (in the hope that they add one eventually) and nothing will be hurt. The warning is just a warning, the rest of the package lists are being updated still.

  • You can remove the PPA:

    sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:openshot.developers/ppa

    The next sudo apt update should be warning free.

So I fixed this and I feel really dumb for not knowing this.

Okay, the problem was that at some point, I added the 1386 architecture instead of i386. So when I tried to update with apt-get, it couldn't download the 32-bit packages. Thanks.
