Hi guys hope someone can help. I have had trouble updating for ages, but only just got round to checking it. Updated to Maverick at christmas 2010.
The essential problem is synaptic (or updte manager) won't talk to the repository.
I get:
Failed to fetch http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release.gpg

....,
I have truncated the above.
When I go through these manually on the heanet server, it's not surprising because these files are not there ... instaed there are file with en_GB and en_US suffixes.
However, even when I reset my sources file to contain just these:
deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-proposed universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports main multiverse restricted universe
deb-src http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security universe main multiverse restricted
deb-src http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates universe main multiverse restricted
deb-src http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-proposed universe main multiverse restricted
deb-src http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports universe main multiverse restricted
deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main #Third party developers repository
I still get the error.
Where has the system got these filenames stored or where is it getting these aberrant filenames from?
Thanks
