=== Add EOL Repository === | |||
Once a version of Ubuntu has gone End Of Line (EOL), you can't install software packages using the normal repository. On trying you'll get an error similar to | |||
* <code>Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/<package> 404 Not Found</code> | |||
The repository is still available, but via a different URL - http://old-releases.ubuntu.com | |||
Edit <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and add the following (replace hardy with your flavour of Ubuntu). Remove the existing ubuntu repositories (they'll just cause errors as they're inaccessible) | |||
<pre> | |||
# Hardy EOL | |||
# Required | |||
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse | |||
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted universe multiverse | |||
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-security main restricted universe multiverse | |||
# Optional | |||
#deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse | |||
