Cannot Update 8.10, Failed to fetch
After installing Open Office 3 months ago (I believe I used the following instructions: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-T...10-96449.shtml) I have not been able to download any updates and Synaptic does not work.
When I click to update I get a message that says: Not all updates can be installed.... and I click to install a partial upgrade.
Then I get a window that says: Error authenticating some packages
and a lot of packages are listed.
Clicking close shuts down the update.
So lets go into Synaptic and see what happens. Open the application and click RELOAD and get an error: Could not download all repository indexes
The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.
The following text is the scroll box of this dialog box:
Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/di...86/Packages.gz 403 OK
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...86/Packages.gz 403 OK
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
After searching the forums for about 1 hour and trying a thing or two, no change. Thinking someone will ask about etc/apt/soures.list I give it below:
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)]/ intrepid main restricted

Would love to update my distribution. Any thoughts.
