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]

#Change /etc/apt/sources.list nano etc/apt/sources.list
Replace “mirrors.digitalocean.com” with “archive.ubuntu.com”
replacing mirrors.digitalocean.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com resolved the issues for me so I could install the upgrades needed for a dist-upgrade.
