Tried to do apt-get on my ubuntu droplet and getting a ton of 404's similar to this: Failed to fetch http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libss l-dev_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.10_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 95.85.0.50 80]

Hello!

Please execute this command to update your package lists, then retry your installation:

apt-get update

FWIW, my droplet is running Ubuntu 13.10 and apt-get seems to work fine.

I'm facing the same problem in Ubuntu 14.10. apt-get update fails with digital ocean mirrors if I move to default ubuntu mirrors works.

Change /etc/apt/sources.list

nano etc/apt/sources.list

Replace "mirrors.digitalocean.com" with "archive.ubuntu.com"
