I have been trying to install Firefox and Thunderbird on Raspbian Stretch, but I have not been able to.

Edit: This issue seems to have been resolved for now. For some reason the sudo apt-get update worked for the first time and I have not had any issue since.

When using apt-get I get the following:

sudo apt-get install iceweasel

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

I have tried sudo apt-get install iceweasel --fix-missing and I have tried using aptitude, but the result is more or less the same.

I have the same trouble trying to install Thunderbird:

sudo apt-get install icedove



Exact same thing here as above, there is no need to repeat it.

When I run sudo apt-get updateI get an error:

sudo apt-get update

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

cat /etc/apt/sources.list gives me:


deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi

When I uncommented the last line it gave the same error on update.

My internet connection seems to be working fine, I can search and browse, and I was able to download vlc using apt-get and vnstat using aptitude.

Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

  • 404 tends to indicate DNS is working but the destination files aren't found. Last I saw that in this question. We troubledshooted via --print-uris and running curl commands but it was never fully rootcaused. If you'd like to examine the 404s please post some similar diagnostics. Though might fix on a working sudo apt update: It says your 11 MB file got truncated to 5 MB, so try wired ethernet, faster connection (tether your phone), or different mirror URL?

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the problem is likely due to a network outrage and cannot be reproduced.
