Ignored repositories when updating package list

[lucacerone]

Dear all,
I'm experiencing a strange issue with my Ubuntu 10.10 since a few days:
when trying to update the packages list, a lot of repositories are ignored.

Here is the output of
sudo apt-get update | grep -i ign .

How come all these repositories cannot be hit?

Is there any way to make the update hit there repositories?
And if they're useless, no longer supported, how can I remove them
so to have a tidy repositories list?

Thanks a lot in advance to all of you,
Cheers, -Luca

I tried your repos and they work for me ( i can go to the web page).All you miss is translation packages.So you can live without them for few days.I hope in that time frame your problems will disappear.

I too am getting fails on these when I reload in synaptic.
