I own a VPS instance on DigitalOcean and I have been encountering issues when updating via apt-get. I get both 404s and issues regarding missing release files.
I am running Ubuntu 16.10, which I obtained by running lsb_release -a
.
I have never tried to use PPAs and I have never modified my apt sources. However, I do remember fixing this problem once before by making my apt sources look like the ones on my Ubuntu computer, just with the versions changed.
I have read many other posts about the same problem and I have tried a number of solutions. None have worked. When I run apt-get update (as root), I get:

I would like to avoid upgrading Ubuntu versions at all costs since this server runs a ton and I don’t have the time to fix issues. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hey friend!
I would highly advise against running Ubuntu 16.10. Not only is this not an LTS release, but it reached end of life status in July of last year. There are applications in it’s repositories and installed on that system which have known vulnerabilities, and which have not been and will not be patched by the Ubuntu team. As you’ve noted that this server is running a lot of things on it, and I believe their importance is implied, you should be aware that all of those things could be at risk.
With that out of the way, I can tell you how to connect it to it’s repositories. When Ubuntu moves a non-LTS to end of life status, they move the repositories as well. If you change “us.archive” to “old-releases” in the repo URLs it should work. You can see that it is available here:
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
