Failing to install pip3 in debian 7.11

Posted on March 28, 2019

Hi, I’m trying to install pip3 in a wheezy server:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 7.11 (wheezy)
Release:	7.11
Codename:	wheezy

Then after installing python 3.2, I want to install a library using pip3 and it hasn’t been installed, so I tried:

root@rec-us-newyork-02:/usr/bin# sudo apt-get install python3-pip

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

After that I’ve tried apt-get update and try with --fix-missing but it isn’t still working. Is there any solution you think I can use?

Thanks!
