I'm trying to update a Ubuntu server and when I run apt-get update I get a number of errors like the examples below (note I added some space after http).
Err http ://no.archive.ubuntu.com natty/main Sources 404 Not Found
Err http ://no.archive.ubuntu.com natty/restricted Sources 404 Not Found
AND
W: Failed to fetch http ://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http ://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/restricted/source/Sources 404 Not Found
I tried to replace all occurrences of http ://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ with http ://archive.ubuntu.com/
But seems all of these archives are gone...
Version of Ubuntu:
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
Codename: natty
How can I cleanup this mess?
Thanx for any help!

I assume the problem is because you are using a relatively old release of Ubuntu. A possible fix would be to open the /etc/apt/sources.list
file with an editor of your choice
.Change all (xx.)archive.ubuntu.com
to old-releases.ubuntu.com.
. In your case an example would be ://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources
becomes
://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources
after this, you can try running sudo apt-get update
For you to update your release,you need update-manager-core(sudo apt-get install update-manager-core)
and then sudo do-release-upgrade
but this will update you to the next release and has to be repeated until you reach say 12.04 LTS which has Long Term Support.
