Hello,

I have been using and updating my 17.04 ubuntu regularly since I installed it in August 2017. Starting about a month ago or so, trying to update Ubuntu Base has yielded the following error (I can update other packages, such as Chrome and Skype, without any issues).

Failed to download repository information
Check you internet connection

Details:

/ubuntu zesty Release' does not have a Release file., W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/ubuntu zesty-updates Release' does not have a Release file., W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/ubuntu zesty-backports Release' does not have a Release file., W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/ubuntu zesty-security Release' does not have a Release file.


The same results occur when I used the Main Server. Upon examining some solutions, I tried Setting > Download from: > Other and on the "Choose a Download Server" dialog box > Select Best Server. The search results in an error:

No Suitable Download Server Was Found. Please check your internet connection.

My internet connection is working well and I am not using a proxy as far as I know.

How can I fix this?

17.04 has reached end of life and no longer supported, the repositories have been removed.

Doh. Thanks. This is my first time running a non-LTS release so never had to deal with this before.
