when i SSH into my VPS, it tells me 62 packages can be updated, 32 updates are security updates. I can’t for the life of me figure out why sudo apt-get update isn’t working. It just shows me a long list like this:
Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com saucy-backports/multiverse Translation-en_US Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com saucy-backports/restricted Translation-en_US Ign http://us.archive.ubuntu.com saucy-backports/universe Translation-en_US
then says Reading package lists…done
Any ideas?

Ign? I never see that “Ign” repository : <br> <br>“Ign” http://us.archive.ubuntu.com saucy-backports/multiverse Translation-en_US <br>“Ign” http://us.archive.ubuntu.com saucy-backports/restricted Translation-en_US <br>“Ign” http://us.archive.ubuntu.com saucy-backports/universe Translation-en_US <br> <br>For security reason I use Official Repository only and some Apps repository that I trust, and I think DO have a good support for ubuntu mirror source repository as default. <br> <br>If you lose your original source repository you can generate through this link: <br> <br>http://repogen.simplylinux.ch
Oh, sry… you use One click Wordpress install. You need to open ticket support to Digital Ocean.
apt-get update updates the package index only. It doesn’t actually install/upgrade any packages at all. <br> <br> <br>You need to run apt-get upgrade to upgrade the packages (after running apt-get update).
