Ubuntu中无法update的解决办法

我输入 sudo apt-get update 出现错误：

/etc/apt$ sudo apt-get update

（错误当时没有记录下来上网找到了同样错误的提示！）

——-下面我们就一起讨论下这个情况！

所有停止维护的版本都可以使用old源。所以在元列表中把原来的地址改为带有old源的就可以了。

首先，备份系统中的源列表，打开终端，输入
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup

4.输入
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
打开源列表文件，ctrl+A，然后delete，删除全部内容
然后把下面的地址复制到该文件中：

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-backports main restricted universe multiverse

5.需要注意的是上面地址中的 utopic是ubuntu系统版本的名称，我的ubuntu系统是14.10，对应的版本名称是utopic。只要把这里的utopic换车你自己系统版本的名称即可，如果不知道版本名称的话，可以运行以下命令获得
lsb_release -a
其中，Codename就是了。

6.保存好源列表文件后，进入到终端，一定要再输入以下命令
sudo apt-get update
来进行更新,会看到没有失败的提示了，转而出现“命中，获取中”等字眼。
