I'm getting the following errors while trying to install Samba on a ubuntu server 10.04 LTS instance:

Failed to fetch
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/libwbclient0_3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.6_i386.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]

Is there any way to workaround this so I don't have to wait for the update servers to come back up? How do I prevent this in the future?

Edit: I found a very similar posting here on askubuntu: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release

But Lekensteyn's answer doesn't work (though it helped the author of the given question)... I still get the following (after switching repo's to in.archive.ubuntu.com):

root@orbital /home# apt-get install samba

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  samba: Depends: samba-common-bin but it is not going to be installed

         Depends: libwbclient0 (= 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.4) but it is not going to be installed

         Depends: libtalloc2 (>= 2.0.0) but it is not installable

         Depends: update-inetd but it is not installable

E: Broken packages

If all else fails, how will I know when the repository is available again?
