Issue
I have just installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and I am trying to use the make command to compile my Makefile which is located in the same directory as my simple.c file. After running make I get the error that I don't have gcc installed. When I try to install it, I get the errors below. The problem is that I can't install gcc and I don't know why? I will also put the Makefile code also.
Error Output

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
MakeFile
obj-m += simple.o
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
Solution
If sudo apt-get update does not work for you, you should maybe try sudo apt-get clean to clean the cache and then execute sudo apt-get update
