None of apt-get update or --fix-missing seems to fix this. What can I do with this issue?
Also it does the same for package curl, even when I run
# curl --version

I guess 14.10 is out of support. Many packages is not available anymore. Seems only solution is upgrade OS to stable release with sudo do-release-upgrade
Am I right?
Being Ubuntu 14.10 is now EOL (end of life), you will want to try and update the distribution. Many bugs and security fixes will no longer get placed in the EOL repositories, so you would be leaving your server potentially vulnerable. You can find more information on updating to a newer distribution via this article.
That all said, if you wish to continue using an EOL distribution, you would need to change the /etcv/apt/sorurces.list file to use the hostname mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu-old instead of using the current hostname.
So if the entry was:
deb http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu trusty universe
You would want to change that over to:
deb http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu-old trusty universe
