I have a droplet with Ubuntu 14.04.5 x64. When I run the command:
apt-get update
I get this error (I will copy paste the last few rows of the terminal):
My-server:~# apt-get update

Hello,
I believe that Ubuntu 14 would no longer be supported. So you would start seeing more and more packages failing to install as normal. I would recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 18 or 19 so that way you would get the latest security patches and also all of the latest packages.
Regards, Bobby
