Can't upgrade due to 404 error

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3936 / 1 Year ago, mon, february 6, 2023, 8:09:42

The upgrade is successfully started, but then got this error:



Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.181 80]

...

The Internet connection is fine. When I simply open that URL in browsed I still get 404.

/etc/apt/sources.list:

For some reason you trying to download Ubuntu 6.06 aka Dapper Drake which is of course not supported for some time. You should check your Software Sources or check file /etc/apt/sources.list.

Looking at your file:

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main multiverse

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main multiverse

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner

deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner

These lines need to be commented out:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

add a # in-front of the lines above i.e.

#deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main multiverse

#deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main multiverse

#deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner

#deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner

Save.

Run

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Reboot

Then perform the upgrade as per:
