    Got 403 Forbidden in Update Manager

    Hi guys:

    I got the following errors while press "check" button in update manager
    They looks strange since they actually are in-accessible urls, for example:
    http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...source/Sources does not exists!
    however
    http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...rce/Sources.gz does exists!


    ==================================================
    /etc/apt/source.list
    ==================================================
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list

    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main universe restricted multiverse
    deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main universe restricted multiverse #Added by software-properties


    ==================================================
    Error Code:
    ==================================================

    W:Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...source/Sources 403 Forbidden

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


    I've been working on this issue for more than 3 hours and still got no progress.
    Any help will be appreciated!

    your sources.list is borked, replace with the lines below (copy & paste to avoid errors):

    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

    - erase everything and copy/paste:

    deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main universe restricted multiverse
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-updates main universe restricted multiverse
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-security main universe restricted multiverse
    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-proposed main universe restricted multiverse

    deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ oneiric free non-free

    - save and close that sources.list file
    - then update & enjoy
