I've create a Ubuntu server 16.04 LTS (published by Canonical) in Azure

When execute 

sudo apt-get install npm

it get error message like

Err:6 http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 cpp-5 amd64 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5
  404  Not Found

E: Failed to fetch http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gcc-5/cpp-5_5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5_amd64.deb  404  Not Found

Could I replace azure.archive.ubuntu.com server address in etc/apt/sources.list with archive.ubuntu.com or old-releases.ubuntu.com? or any suggestion to fix this?

    I found that run `sudo apt-get update --fix-missing`, it will fetch missing part from `http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu`, then run `sudo apt-get install npm` would work. so no need to change etc/apt/sources.list... just wonder why azure.archive.ubuntu.com does not have those missing part... – Alex Lee Feb 06 '18 at 04:16

    Not sure. Where did you get the instructions then to use the `azure.archive.ubuntu.com`? While I was looking at the `azure.archive.ubuntu.com` site, it appeared that the folders were last updated back in June of 2016. – Terrance Feb 06 '18 at 04:39
  • Azure's ubuntu 16.04 vm (published by Canonical) is using `azure.archive.ubuntu.com` by default. – Alex Lee Feb 07 '18 at 06:04
  • Interesting. Well, I couldn't tell you why the applications were moved and no longer on the azure.archive. Glad it is working for you though. =) – Terrance Feb 07 '18 at 06:14
