Hi,

I've updated to v8.04 and when the Update Manager checks the sources, I get this error:

Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/universe/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

How do I fix this?

Remove the offending repos from sources.list
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources/list
Nice to see you on the Ubuntu forums, silent warrior.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. The list (/etc/apt/sources) -gedit ... is blank?

There was a mistake in the coding. It should be

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
