   E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I take it that I have to make some changes to the file containing information regarding the servers and sources? Can you please tell me how to fix this?

When I tried

    sudo apt-get update

it worked. I take it that it worked, cuz it was empty?

UPDATE

I tried the answer here and thisis the updated output I get.

  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  Package build-essential is not available, but is referred to by another package.
  This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
  is only available from another source

  E: Package 'build-essential' has no installation candidate

Any pointers from here please?
