Ubuntu

Upgrade Util does not download 7.04

Asked by Fry

I have now tried on two different network connections to update to Fawn from Eft. The upgrade utility tries to pull files that it apparently cannot find, and quits looking, even though there is a progress bar saying that I have 98 out of 104 files. Occasionally it will also provide a "download rate: 0B/s" or "31.6B/s" for a brief moment before that message disappears.

Both my networks had connectivity, and updating individual packages, leading me to presume that the supposed problem (limited network connectivity) is not to blame.

The error message it gives me contains the following:
Failed to fetch http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

Thank you in advance,

Thanks for your question.

It's quite simple: both repositories don't exist any longer, so the update manager won't find them. At one time in the past you added these repositories to your update sources. They don't come with a regular installation.

Just open "System->Administration->Software sources" and change to the tab "Third-Party Software", Now just delete these entries.
