but when I said sudo apt-get update the updates did not happen. the error was "some index files failed to download, ignoring or using the older ones".
This maybe because you have other sources listed in your sources.list file, which weren't available at the time being. For example you have archive.ubuntu.com in your sources.list but you have no internet connection, apt will try to upgrade from the url but it won't be available so the error. I am just assuming this kind of thing because I am not aware how exactly your sources.list looks like and I haven't tried aptoncd myself.
