This is a common problem, my solution does not necessarily apply, but my computer can be solved.

First, the emergence of this problem, use your browser to view this page:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list

Found not get in, so naturally no way to download.

The solution is to uninstall the previous installation package:

sudo apt-get remove ros-*

Then reconfigure the source, select ustc source in the software update.

Then enter the console, add USTC source:

sudo sh -c '. /etc/lsb-release && echo "deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ros/ubuntu/ $DISTRIB_CODENAME main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'

Add key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0xB01FA116

After the procedure the same as before:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop-full

And then perform that step before the problem:

 sudo rosdep init

If correct, will return: Wrote etc / ros. . . . (Omitted), this time, if you go before the visit that website, it should be able to go in it

Then, after the execution in accordance with official website. I do not know if I have the solution to your problem then
