Since the Ubuntu 13.10 version seems to be an old version, when ever I try to perform update, I have been keep getting following error.
"Err http://archive.ubuntu.com saucy/main amd64 packages
404 Not Found [ IP :91.189.91.23 80]"
This issue happens due to end of providing support for this version of ubuntu ( in my case its saucy ). Once the support is over it will moved to another server.
Therefore in order to fix this issue, you can either update the OS version to the latest one or you can update the package repository archives of archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com package repository domain names with old-releases.ubuntu.com. You can achieve this by using following command.
sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com\|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
Next in order to make sure, no places are missed again we can manually update the source.list.d file using simple grep commands.
grep -E 'archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
Next run the simple sudo apt-get update command.
Next while performing the update, you might face the signature validation failed error message.
"A error occurred during the signature verification"
In such scenarios, we can follow the old famous way of solving this issue.
sudo apt-get clean
cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
