Hi,
Since im using ubuntu server im not sure if this is a solution cuz i cant test it myself, but this may be a sulotion.

i forgot, you can also find the new paths for the packages and just edit the paths manualy by do a "sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list" or gedit if you like it "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and just replace the paths.

But i made the guess that u already done the "sudo apt-get update" ? This to get the packages in the sourcelist.

That is because the PPA you are trying to access no longer appears to be available.

http://ppa.launchpad.net/sevenmachines/flash/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources

See Index of Sevenmachines PPA (http://ppa.launchpad.net/sevenmachines/)

Open Software Sources through the Settings button in Update Manager and delete/disable the PPAs that are giving you the problem under the "Other Software" Tag.

Good luck

You can also open the sources.list file like you did, but as root, and comment out the PPA (using # just like the first listings for the CD).
