[ubuntu] gutsy repositories 404 ?

[mykel--]

Hi guys,

im trying to install a few packages and it looks like the repositories have been taken offline.

please dont tell me this is because "7.10 is not a LTS release so we dont offer repositories anymore".

i have hardware issues with 8.04 AND 8.10, will try out 9.04 when it comes out, but until then, please tell me the repos have moved or something...

Hi mykel--

Sorry to say, but 7.10 has reached it's end of life. The repositories are no longer available.

[mykel--]

im raging. i cant believe nobody wants to keep less-than-2-year-old repos going. sigh. im hoping 9.04 will work with my sata controllers.

You should be able to use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ if you really need to keep running gutsy

I'm having this problem too (waiting for a disk to arrive before I update!)

amac777: Thanks for that link, but what do I do with it?

Cheers
Max

Update your /etc/apt/sources.list to use the new URL.

"security.ubuntu.com" becomes "old-releases.ubuntu.com"
in my case (since I am in the U.S.)
"us.archive.ubuntu.com" becomes "old-releases.ubuntu.com"
etc...

in my case

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old
sudo sed -ie 's|//security|//old-releases|' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo sed -ie 's|//us.archive|//old-releases|' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update

was sufficient. If you use third party (or different) repositories you might need to adjust the commands or the file itself.

Keep in mind that if you do a distribution upgrade to 8.04, that will be supported for quite a while, and you'll be able to upgrade straight to 9.10 when it comes out.

Thanks Kokopelli, thats done the trick.

Windsurfer619: I have 9.10 on order and I'm waiting for the disk. Once that comes Ill do a clean install and go from there, but in the last few weeks that I'm on 7.10 Ill be checking out various bits of software still, so I need these repository links for dependencies etc.

Anyway, thanks all.

regards

Max

http://old-releases.ubuntu.com has only iso images of old releases, no repositories. Does anyone know where the repositories are?

[adit]

Sorry, I didn't go through the site completely. The repositories are in
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy
