Getting this in SGP1 on new droplet that was created a few minutes ago.

This is happening on droplets that I just created, could there be something wrong with the base image?

Hey friend!

I checked to make sure everything is good on this side, and it looks to be. I’m going to recommend this as a potential fix:

rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
apt-get clean
apt-get update
