Hi all,
I’m running into some issue, when trying to upgrade my Ubuntu currently on 14.04 when running
sudo apt update && apt upgrade
Here is the error part
Err https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com main/main amd64 Packages
Bad header line
Err https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com main/main i386 Packages
Bad header line
N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
W: Failed to fetch https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/apt/droplet-agent/dists/main/main/binary-amd64/Packages Bad header line
W: Failed to fetch https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/apt/droplet-agent/dists/main/main/binary-i386/Packages Bad header line
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Appreciate any help or even advise. This came about when my droplet is blocked because it was spamming, and was advise to install clamAV. I tried but I believe that clamAV need me to upgrade my Ubuntu.

Heya, @kuancheeneel
If you would, please try running:
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
Once ran, please try running apt-get update once again. Generally, that’ll solve the issue, as long as the repositories in your sources.list file are correct and have not been modified.
Also you’ll likely need to upgrade in stages (14.04 → 16.04 → 18.04 → 20.04 or 22.04) because Ubuntu doesn’t allow direct jumps across multiple LTS versions.
Regards
