Apt-get failed to fetch from Ubuntu server with error code 404


I just updated from 10.04 to Oneiric and now I can not use my apt-get anymore. When I do I got the following error:

I can ping any computer and access internet. sudo apt-get update and apt-get upgrade does not work (nor clean or autoclean), dpkg --configure -a does not help also. Any ideas?



Seems to me like a network issue, are you behind a proxy? If so, your configuration might be borked.


Have a look at your etc/apt/apt.conf file and check the proxy settings there.

SOLUTION
miguel@miguel-VirtualBox:~$ cat gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf
#Wrong!!!
#Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxyconf/proxy.pac";
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://17X.XX.XX.X:8080";

It was an issue with the network settings - an invalid proxy was setup causing the problem.
