I keep getting failed to fetch errors from the primary Ubuntu repository for gcc and related. I have run sudo apt update --fix-missing and sudo apt upgrade and the errors remain the same.
Looking at I can verify that a) the server is responding properly and b) there are archives there to fetch, just not the versions that apt is looking for.
Why is apt looking for different versions? How do I reset or rebuild whatever list apt is using for version numbers?

- Try removing content of
/var/lib/apt/lists/- may contain some broken/outdated package lists. Aftersudo apt updateshould be as good as new. - Messages about release file being "not valid yet" may be because of a clock skew. Make sure your clock is set correctly.
- When you get messages about conflicting packages try to remove them and reinstall afterwards.
