Hi,
I just installed peppermint OS on my pc yesterday and i started by doing the usual "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" while i was doing so i noticed this error :
E: Failed to fetch file:/run/live/medium/dists/bookworm/main/binary-amd64/Packages File not found - /run/live/medium/dists/bookworm/main/binary-amd64/Packages (2: No such file or directory)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I just ignored it and proceeded with installing my apps etc. But then I noticed apps like anbox, waydroid not functioning well not appearing in the start menu giving errors when launched in the terminal.

Hi Ammar,
The company that hosts our servers are migrating their server farm to another location and there will possibly be disruption in different areas of its global coverage, as it resync all our services, as you have noticed with a failed connection to be able to update/upgrade your computer.
It is expected to be resolved by Monday. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please beware, when updating type sudo xDaily into your terminal, when prompted enter your password, this is our semi automated updater that includes upgrading, updating grub, removing cache, activating the trim function for SSD usage, etc.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The error suggests that you might be trying to update from a Live environment, which can sometimes cause issues with package fetching. Why are you trying to update the the live environment?

Not really knowing the scenario its hard to say, but I can say that it is not installed properly. or you are booting from a USB drive or something....
No. I installed it. If you can instruct me with a solution i can figure it
Yes! You were right just reinstalled it. Working well now
