Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#1

I see two issues:

1. Your system is running Ubuntu 15.10 "wily", but support for this release has ended a year ago (July 2016).
You should upgrade to a supported release, e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial", with support until April 2021.

2. Apparently you have configured your system to use a web proxy (10.20.3.1:3128), but I assume that this web proxy can only be used when connected via the college portal, and the web proxy cannot be accessed when you are at home.
You have to disable the web proxy definition (in the config files /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/environment) when you are using the system at home, and you have to re-enable it when you are accessing the web in your college.

As stated above, you wont get updated anyway.

You can rename /etc/apt/apt.conf and you will not use the proxy but there are no packages for Wily anyway. It's like trying to get updates for Windows 98

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask chaitanya kumar for more information if necessary.
