E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
The Os is
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 (wheezy)

You're seeing those errors when attempting to update packages because Debian 7 (Wheezy) reached its End Of Life (EOL) date a couple of years ago, at which time the package repository was archived. Because of how long it's been since the EOL date, I'd recommend updating your Linode's OS by spinning up a new one and moving files over.
If that's not an option right now, there's another Community Questions post that helps with changing your set up to update existing packages:
