For some reason my update manager seems to be failing always on the same 3 items. If I do a "check" in update manager, these are the errors I get:


W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xmbc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xmbc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

If anyone can tell me what I would need to do it would be greatly appreciated!

BTW - tried 11.04 - for now, I'm going to stay with 10.x - just my choice for now. So.......please don't suggest I upgrade to 11.04.

probably a little mistake...
the address should be:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/
you can run
gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and fix it

Well, this is a little weird: those entries are not in the file:

I also noticed that it is actually 2 lines, each repeated, so I removed 1 pair of the lines in Synaptic, did a reload, and the red triangle on my top bar telling me I had errors is now gone.

Thanks for the help - deleting the dups and making the xbmc seems to have cleared things up.

BTW - any idea what those repositories are for?

EDIT: Found the file containing just these entries in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder.
