E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

from the error lists, does that mean canonical, getdeb and pacifica icon are down or what? I've read some other posts and the solution seemed to be removing the ppa s, however i'm afraid that i won't get the updates after removing them.

  • This is definitely not a duplicate of that. One of these is a dead PPA, the others are incorrect release versions.

How did you add those repositories? They do not exist (you can check the links in your browser). And I highly doubt that canonical offers packages for freya ;)

Use the trusty packages for the canonical and getdeb repositories. The launchpad repository hasn't been updated since 2013 so it doesn't provide any trusty packages.

  • Look in the file /etc/apt/sources.list and the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d and replace any instances of freya with trusty
