Can't install netstat (or anything else)

Hello,

If I try to use netstat, I get:
Command 'netstat' not found, but can be installed with:
apt install net-tools

If I try to install it I get:
E: Failed to fetch http://mirrors.linode.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/net-tools/net-tools_1.60%2bgit20181103.0eebece-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 2a01:7e00:1::b24f:af37 80]

I tried many commands, like apt-get update, apt-get upgrqade, apt-get dist-upgrade
and they were all resulted in errors.
I tried to upgrade my 21 ubuntu, and got:

However, in this site I didn't find a clear how-to upgrade my linode.
What can I do?

Ubuntu 21.xx is EOL…it's why you received this message:

Non-LTS releases have very short support lives. That’s why you should avoid them.

However, in this site I didn't find a clear how-to upgrade my linode. What can I do?

Spin up a new Linode and install Ubuntu 22.04 (the current LTS release) on it. Transfer all your important stuff to the 22.04 Linode and then swap the IPv4 addresses. When everything is working, delete the 21.xx Linode.

See here: https://www.linode.com/community/questions/23746/changing-operating-system

LTS releases are typically dropped every two years (usually in April). The next LTS release is anticipated to be 24.04. LTS releases are supported for 5 years (if you're to believe Canonical's spin on this subject).
