How can I fix this update error

Question

W: Failed to fetch http://ug.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/restricted/source/Sources  403  Forbidden

Try using the main server. Go to Dash, type and open 'Software and Updates' and on the 'download from' dropdown, choose the main server. Then try updating again. — Parto, Jan 19 '16 at 11:21
Are you using a proxy or an ISP that filters your internet connection? `wget -S http://ug.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/restricted/source/Sources` should return a 404 error code not 403. — bain, Jan 19 '16 at 17:58

Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list

Then update with:

sudo apt-get update

@MazingaAdam show the content of your `/etc/apt/sources.list` file – WeezHard Jan 19 '16 at 12:39

You could try this:

sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

and it might work fine this way.
