When I run the "sudo aptitude update" I get the following output:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

And when I run "ls -la /usr/lib/apt/methods/http" I get this output:

ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/apt/methods/http': No such file or directory

How do I fix this? I tried installing apt-transport-https which was recommended and it did nothing.
