I was trying to learn rails and installed ruby on rails on my system. Though I already had an old version of ruby & rails installed. I installed this one as guided in the tutorials and installed a new version of ruby & rails.
I was able to install everything but not able to run rails server. As it is showing me a lot of errors.
Could not find gem 'pg (>= 0.18, < 2.0)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile. Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.
Once I run bundle install, it showing me more errors and not able to install certain bundles.
Showing the list of errors:

I know there are many posts related to this issue. I tried many and still not able to figure out, how to fix it. And I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu for this issue.

About this line. I have tried to install this package for like 10 times but it's not working.
I also tried to clean up all the packages using rvm cleanup all but that is not working as well. I am having a lot of permissions errors, showing a sample error below:

I have 2 ruby version installed ruby "2.1.5" and "2.5.3". I have installed the new ruby application using "2.5.3". However, the older one required "2.1.5". I want to use ruby application using Postgres. I had Postgres 9.6 on my system earlier but now new installation installed Postgres 11. I am using Ubuntu 14.04. Can anyone help?
Thanks
@Mark:
On sudo apt-get update. I am getting the following errors:
Reading package lists... Done
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192
W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I am going to following the next step now.
I was able to install the postgres and now creating new rails App. This step is showing me error. The full output is too large to add here, so I am going to share the error part here:
