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

Does someone know to workaround this issue

Answer 1

It seems like apt could not connect to the right archive. Maybe there's an option, where you can change the server to download from.
Also you could try running sudo apt update or sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev libmysqlclient-de --fix-missing as suggested in the error message.

Edit: I found out, that you can change the mirror by going to software sources (Linux Mint, maybe this also works for you)
