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

I tried to follow this solution here to troubleshooting, but not working.

I'ii appreciate if anyone can help with this issue.

Solution

  • Another newbie here. I had the same issue with nodejs 14.x and Oragle VM VirtualBox 6.1.12.

    I tried to solve the issues (mongodb had the same hash issue) with removing removing /var/lib/apt/lists/*, updating with apt-get update --fix-missing, cleaning apt-get, installing different nodejs and mongodb versions, ...

    But which finally fixed my problems was downgrading VirtualBox from 6.1.12 (latest) to 6.0.24. Thanks for user VivekDev in another stackoverflow thread.

    After downgrading you may have issues with running virtual machines on VirtualBox. This can be solved with a cmd command (as an administrator) bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off. Restart PC and try again vagrant up.
