I recommend to
Reconnect and try again!
It can happen because your connection is disconnected from the server

Try to clean the local repo storage with:

Code: (Select All)

apt-get clean all

After that try to run the update again.

Alternatively you might have to switch mirrors for that sury.org PHP repo.

i reboot vps and run clean command. after then again repeat update command. now got this at the end

I earlier had this issue too. But you can refer to this answer for a possible solution to your problem because this helped me. Maybe it would help you too?
Additionally, here is what I did(with reference to the above-mentioned answer).

I copied old source.list to '/' directory as a backup.

Code: (Select All)

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/

Now downloading new source.list and directly making it edited to original file.

Code: (Select All)

sudo wget "http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=uzhrtg5M" -O /etc/apt/sources.list

Now updating with new lists.

Code: (Select All)

sudo apt-get update

Removing extras which had an impact/conflict with another file of the same, so we removed it to avoid the error.

Code: (Select All)

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-extras.list

Now updating again for the last time.

Code: (Select All)

sudo apt-get update

This should work as it did for me. 
Credits are mentioned.

Try these:

apt-get -y install apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates
wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
apt-get update

apt-get -y install apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates
wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
apt-get update

I got this in result.

To be honest. I don't know what you did on that server but there is something really seriously broken. If apt can't even install packages... I don't think you're going to solve this or anyone else here (I could dig deeper but that'd require access for me to your server and I don't really have the time).

Take backups and reinstall to a fresh system. That'd be my suggestion at this point.

[deanhills]

@sagher Do you want me to reinstall your OS? Just remember you'll have to make backups of everything as it will erase the contents of the VPS.

This thread almost feels like deja vu for me. Like looks as though Ubuntu is not good with updates - you're not the only one with problems if you Google this. Do you want to change to CentOS perhaps, as I haven't had an issue ever with updating it. CentOS is very simple and easy to use for every one.
