    1) Comment line inside /etc/apt/sources.list where http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
    These packages are not actual ubuntu source so we can comment it out.

    2) replace
    deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main
    deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main

    With
    deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main
    deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main

    Since xenial package does not exist check here: http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
