First thing I do on my new droplet as root: apt-get install git
I get errors that look like:
Err http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main git-man all 1:1.9.1-1ubuntu0.1
I’m PRETTY SURE there’s a typo there: ’ trusty-updates’ is meant to be ‘trusty-updates’ (extra leading space!).
Please fix this, DO!

I just spun up a new Ubuntu 14.04.3 droplet but was unable to duplicate this issue. Was this a new droplet created from the Ubuntu 14.04 image?
