What causes this error
In my case, the below error appeared when attempting to run the sudo apt-get upgrade command after the sudo apt-get update in the terminal of my Raspberry Pi with the Raspbian 10 installed. However, you may run into this problem on any Linux computer with Debian-like OS.

The error message above is self explanatory. It saying that the system is unable to fetch some archives (a deb packages that contains the latest version of our software), and this is because the IP (in my case it is 213.180.204.183) is not found (error 404).
The indexes of available packages are fetched from the location(s) specified in the /etc/apt/sources.list file. When the location(s) specified in this file is outdated, we get the 404 error.
Now we know what caused this error.
How to solve it
Once we know what is causing the sudo apt-get upgrade command run to fail, we can use it to solve the problem. It is a really easy process. To solve this problem, we need to run the sudo apt-get update command but with the flag --fix-missing. Now, step by step guide.
Access the terminal of your Raspberry Pi. I use the SSH method to remotely connect to my Raspberry Pi from my laptop, but you can use any other method; telnet or direct access (using keyboard and monitor connected directly to your Raspberry Pi).
In the terminal, type the following command and press the Enter key to retrieve the updated indexes of available packages.
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
Hit:1 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease Hit:2 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian buster InRelease Reading package lists... Done
Temporarily disable your ad blocker. I use the Pi-hole as an ad blocker, and it turned out that it interferes with software updates. Perhaps I have set a too strict blocking list.
Finally, you can retype the command sudo apt-get upgrade to verify that it runs without the errors.
sudo apt-get upgrade
