Ubuntu – apt-get totally not working Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

14.04apt

apt-get always fails when I try anything.
I can't install, remove, update, upgrade and even dist-upgrade.
When I try
sudo apt-get update I got this message : 

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

apt-get install

E: Unmet dependencies.

apt-get upgrade :

Best Answer

Open software and updates other software tab Untick any repository you dont think should be their like if wine is still their even after you uninstalled it or you dont need the repo (be careful dont delete just untick ,just in case you need it again for some software again sometime in future) close it ,it will ask for refresh cancel it

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install  -f

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

you can comment out repositorys in terminal also just edit the file

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

and comment the repos you don't need
