I’m trying to update the packages on a fresh Ubuntu 24.10 droplet. Every time I run apt update I get an error informing me that the connection to the mirror cannot be established.

I’ve read around and it seems that the source file could be outdated:
Types: deb
URIs: http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu/
Suites: oracular oracular-updates oracular-backports
Components: main universe restricted multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
## Ubuntu security updates. Aside from URIs and Suites,
## this should mirror your choices in the previous section.
Types: deb
URIs: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
Suites: oracular-security
Components: main universe restricted multiverse
"/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources" 55L, 3007B
I’ve tried changing the digitalocean mirrors to “http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu” but that is not working.
Any ideas what could be the issue?
