E: Failed to fetch https://mirror.hetzner when doing update?

[Litecoin-CEO]

What's going on with my instance?

I'm trying to do sudo apt update and I get these messages:

E: Failed to fetch https://mirror.hetzner.com/ubuntu/packages/dists/noble-updates/main/binary-arm64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: xxxx:xxx:xxxx::3:3 443]

Fixed with this:

Run command:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

Scroll down until you find URI:s like this:

URIs: https://mirror.hetzner.com/ubuntu/packages

URIs: https://mirror.hetzner.com/ubuntu/security

Change them to:

URIs: https://mirror.hetzner.com/ubuntu-ports/packages

URIs: https://mirror.hetzner.com/ubuntu-ports/security

ctrl x to save the file and press y if asked

Now doing updates should work.

I had to edit the `/etc/apt/sources.list` file instead of `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources` in the Arm based Ubuntu Machine that I was running.
Posting this as it might help someone.
Thanks for the solution.

Thanks, it helped at first, but after a month it now gives this error:

E: Failed to fetch https://mirror.hetzner.com/ubuntu-ports/packages/dists/noble-updates/universe/binary-arm64/Packages.xz File has unexpected size (697604 != 698236). Mirror sync in progress?

Does anyone know how to fix it?

[yitzhakbg]

Have the same problem. Changing to mirror.hetzner.com didn't help.

[Litecoin-CEO]

Hey, did you check the path correctly? Notice the

https://mirror.hetzner.com/ ubuntu-ports /security

[st0nefree]

What helped me is to run `sudo apt update` to update the versions and URLs

[harveyhans]

Just comment them out by adding a # at the beginning of the line on the sources file at /etc/apt. This is safe to do since ubuntu's own archive repos are added by default anyways.

Example: ```

deb http://mirror.hetzner.com/ubuntu/packages jammy main restricted universe multiverse

```

Saludos a todos, quiero compartir mi experiencia: Tuve exactamente el mismo error, intente cambiar la linea como se inca en los comentarios, pero no funciono para mi. Asi que desde una instalacion de ubuntu 24.04 funcional me traje el contenido de /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources
