Problem with apt-get update command: failed to fetch packages 404 not found
I have a problem with 'apt-get update' command and it
bugs me for weeks. I've tried to update Debian with
the command 'apt-get update' and it failed to fetch
packages. I've fixed the etc/apt/sources.list file but
It doesn't help me at all. I've tried apt-setup and
it failed as well with the same message such as
'Failed to fetch'. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the error produced by apt-get update:
