Unable to apt-get update - missing mirror?

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TK1

I am sorry to ask this stupid question on this sophisticated forum. I am on my Nvidia Jetson TK1 and I am unable to do a successful apt-get update because one of the repositories is not found 404.
W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-proposed/restricted/binary-armhf/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80]

does anyone know a mirror I may use? I am trying to update my g++ libs so I can compile an application.

thank you for your kindness with a newbie,

Hmm it looks like the binary-armhf tree was removed from the server.

Is it listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list? If so, comment it out with a # beginning the line.

Hi,
Can you make sure that you have ā€œrestrictedā€ replaced with ā€œuniverseā€ in your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
Please try updating after this and do tell what you see.

Was there a resolution to this issue? I, too, am a noob (just got my Jetson this week), and Iā€™m seeing several armhf update errors like this one :
Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com trusty/universe armhf Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.15 80]

The main repos include only 32bit and 64bit x86 builds, for ARM you need to use post.ubuntu.com.

Generally speaking you shouldnā€™t need to manually add addresses to sources.list.d.

The following should enable universe and multiverse repositories:

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-add-repository multiverse
sudo apt-get update

OK, thanks. I had too many repos added in my list in an attempt to get around another issue. Once I pared it back, this problem went away.

Has anyone noticed that the binary-armhf packages are missing from the repository again? I searched for them on the web and found them here, among other places:

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ceph.com/debian-cuttlefish/dists/trusty/main/binary-armhf/

But I donā€™t know enough about the format of the /etc/apt/sources.list to write the URL in. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

What repository are you referring to? I think they still are in their normal repository:

http://ports.ubuntu.com/

Thanks for the link. I had the same problem.
Here are my solutions.

OS: ubuntu 14.04 64bit

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

delete the update source in the file and paste ā€œdeb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ceph.com/debian-cuttlefish/ trusty mainā€ and save the file.

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7EBFDD5D17ED316D

sudo apt-get update

The other sources are not working properly. Because they are lake of the ā€œPackagesā€, only have ā€œPackages.bz2 and Packages.gzā€. Check 10+ sources. Almost the same problem.

Are you talking about your PC or Jetson? In either case I recommend using the official repositories.

The main Ubuntu repositories (archive.ubuntu.com) only include the amd64 and i386 packages. The other architectures are on a different server (ports.ubuntu.com).

You can check what your current default setup is using by running:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

highsprite , this does not help. Still see (ubuntu 14.04 64bit):

$sudo apt-get update
...
Err http://extras.ubuntu.com trusty/main armhf Packages 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.152 80]

and even

Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/dists/stable/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

etc

Is it possible to disable armhf-updates but not remove it completely from PC?

I am also having this problem.

For background: I have a Jetson TX1, and initially tried to set up the JetPack 2.1 on a virtual machine on my laptop (using Ubuntu 14.04) while I waited for a Dell Ubuntu 14.04 laptop. I was able to install JetPack fine.

I tried to install JetPack 2.1 on the Dell, and it fails when it tries to install the CUDA tools (since it needs the cross compiler).

I added the following lines to my sources.list file:

deb Index of /ubuntu-ports trusty main
deb-src Index of /ubuntu-ports trusty main

did a ā€˜sudo apt-get updateā€™, and still got thisā€¦

I went back to the virtual machine this morning and did a ā€˜sudo apt-get updateā€™, and had the same problem, even though the JetPack 2.1 is installed on there fineā€¦

Solution for this problem is described here: https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

All you need to do is ā€œarchitecture qualifyā€ all repositories that do not work for all architectures defined in your system.

For example, to restrict packages from archives.ubuntu.com to amd64 and i386, one needs to write:

deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty universe
