Why do I get 404 error on .canonical.com on some archive servers?

I've been having a broken package problem for a fair amount of time now, and it was giving me trouble earlier when I was trying to install rvm. After some searching, I opened the software sources manager "gksu software-properties-gtk" and unchecked the archive.canonical.com repositories from "Other Software" and I no longer have any broken packages. Are these important repositories? Should I be worried about my installations health? I'm an Ubuntu noob, so this is worrying me.

It it matters, here were the "sudo apt-get update" errors:

 sudo apt-get update

the line that contains [distro] should be replaced with precise if you are running 12.04.

To edit the source list start by opening a terminal.

edit /etc/apt/sources.list with like gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and a gedit window of the file will open.

find the lines that say deb http://archive.canonical.com [distro]/partner and deb-src http://archive.canonical.com [distro]/partner

deb http://archive.canonical.com precise/partner and deb-src http://archive.canonical.com precise/partner

This should be six lines to edit according to your error.
