    Issues updating the synaptic Hardy 8.04

    I've had this problem for a while and am now wanting to do some thing about it.

    Every time I try to update the synaptic package manager I keep getting the same error message:

    Code:
    Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-backports/main/source/Sources.gz  404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]
    Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-backports/restricted/source/Sources.gz  404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]

    Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
    I don't know why it's trying to fetch from gusty... That makes no sense to me. I'm assuming this is left over from when I upgraded from gusty to hardy.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Code:
    gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    And comment out (by typing # at the beginning of the line) or delete any lines that reference gutsy.

    Ok, both methods have seemed to have worked.

    Thanks!
