Issue updating in Backbox.

[Trigori]

I am prompted to update Backbox via the Update Manager. However, the GUI method doesn't work as there are some untrusted sources within the update.

So I did apt-get update.  Most of the stuff seems to be updating, but quite a few towards the end have this line : "W: Failed to fetch http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found"

Afterwards, I did apt-get upgrade and got a huge amounts of 404s.. I pasted some of the errors below. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Trigori and Happy New Year!  ;)

For fix your problem you can try to change the update server!

Go to BackBox Menu (in the upper left) > System > Update Manager > Settings > Ubuntu Software > Download From... > Other > Select Best Server!

Now you can try to update repository!
