I'm running Ubuntu 17.10 (actually "Lubuntu", if it matters). Lately I can't use apt or apt-get, it always fails with missing packages.

Here's what happens when I run sudo apt-get install brasero:

Running apt-get update gets the same kind of errors:

Running apt-get with "--fix-missing" doesn't fix the problem either.

It's pretty frustrating, I can't install or update anything.

I don't imagine anyone has any tips?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=vp6MzlMmDOU:SwdyGIh2JBQ:F7zBnMy latest?i=vp6MzlMmDOU:SwdyGIh2JBQ:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=vp6MzlMmDOU:SwdyGIh2JBQ:gIN9vFwvp6MzlMmDOU
