E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
I take it that I have to make some changes to the file containing information regarding the servers and sources? Can you please tell me how to fix this?
When I tried
sudo apt-get update
it worked. I take it that it worked, cuz it was empty?
UPDATE
I tried the answer here and thisis the updated output I get.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package build-essential is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'build-essential' has no installation candidate
Any pointers from here please?
