Manual Forge Installation on VPS: Failed to fetch libmcrypt4_2.5.8-3.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

I'm trying to use the provided ssh file to manually setup forge on a VPS. But I keep getting stuck at this line:

apt-get install -y --force-yes build-essential curl fail2ban gcc git libmcrypt4 libpcre3-dev \

Which throws this error:

Googling hasn't turned up an obvious issue.

I've attempted to use

apt-get update and --fix-missing

but the error persists.

I haven't attempted to get any further than this, since presumably i'll hit problems eventually without mcrypt

There are various other things I don't understand about this manual installation file, but for now this is my stumbling block.

Any suggestions?

Guessing it doesn't exist on that mirror. Tried using official ones from Ubuntu?

Thanks for the reply, how would I go about using a different mirror?

I'm trying to use Forge because I don't really know how to do this myself :)

sudo editor /etc/apt/sources.list

Seems like it may have been a Digital Ocean issue

Yeah could tell it was which is why I suggested using better ones. Their own have been down multiple times within a year.
