Support for Ubuntu 14.04 has already ended (except for ESM - Extended Security Maintenance for selected server packages)., see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
I assume that this is the reason that O. Sury has removed the php5.6 package from his repository.

Do you get error messsages for the command
sudo apt update
confirming this?

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

I fixed it using this:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ondrej-mysql*

There are no packages for Trusty (Ubuntu 14.04) . It is end of life. What you are doing is like looking for updates for Windows XP

There are none. I suggest you either upgrade to Xenial (Ubuntu 16.04) which you can do in one jump OR run a final full update, Remove the server, spin up a Focal server (Ubuntu 20.04) then restore your user data / settings

Can you help with this problem?
