[SOLVED] Trying to install LMMS but get the error "Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"

Issue

I'm running Linux mint Xfce and trying to install LMMS using sudo apt install lmms but I get this error:

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

So far I've tried:

apt-get clean
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
apt-get clean
apt-get update 
apt-get upgrade

It might also be worth mentioning that there have been 4 packages that have been just refusing to upgrade. After running apt list --upgradable these are the 4 packages that seem to be giving me problems:

wine-staging-amd64/focal 6.17~focal-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 6.16~focal-1]
wine-staging-i386/focal 6.17~focal-1 i386 [upgradable from: 6.16~focal-1]
wine-staging/focal 6.17~focal-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 6.16~focal-1]
winehq-staging/focal 6.17~focal-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 6.16~focal-1]

I'm not sure what to do about this anymore. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Solution

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. Have a look at the complete error text. It says:

"... File has unexpected size (1932 != 1928). Mirror sync in progress? ..."

The actual file size differs from the actual named file size. It may be that the mirror servers are being updated and therefore the file data is not correct.

Until this is fixed you won't be able to do anything. By the way, it is the same for me.
