Failed to fetch packages after username rename

Asked by Marco Giorgi

I'm unable to fetch packages after username rename in PPA

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/marco/ppa/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found

The old username was blackmoon105

Some admin can fix it, please?

For the record renaming of accounts related with PPAs is not possible anymore.

Since you haven't changed your PPA since the account rename, the fix was easy, I've just renamed the repository root.

All fixed, HH!

The problem pops up again in Karmic. The same warning message except instead of intrepid its karmic. I am just following the instruction in Marco Giorgi's ppa page. Here. https://launchpad.net/~marco/+archive/freepops

I hope it's just a simple renaming issue. Thanks.
