This is a proxy failure. You are under a proxy server.

But the most important is that Lucid(Ubuntu 10.04) will be EOL in a few days and you will have no support any more. No updates - No new packages - No user support (in here or other official help desks.

So first off all, consider to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu (eg Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Precise Pangolin).

Can be found here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/

Fresh install is better. Backup your important files (personal files) and install from scratch.

Regards

Please install from scratch.. is not difficult. Just backup your personal files (these files you want to keep) and install from scratch (not release upgrade).

But That's What I did,
I Install From Scratch, Thuis was a New Version Ubuntu 12.4
The older Version was 10.4
I did an Install from Scratch, Download 12.4 form AMD
Create the CD
And Start Installation.

I suspect this is a network issue, but I don't know how to prove it.
I mean How which arguments can I use to convince the Network Administrator that's this machine is not being capable to have external access'?

Do you have a working network connection with a web broweser?
Do you need to configure the web browser to use an internet proxy?
If yes, you most probably have to configure the package management system to also use that proxy.

The output

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
#acquire::http::Proxy "http://10.100.48.88:3128";

shows that you apparently had a proxy enabled for the package manage system at a certain moment in the past, but now it is disabled again.

Please tell us what you can find out with respect to proxies, and we will tell you how to proceed.

Manfred Hampl requested more information:
Do you have a working network connection with a web broweser?
>>> R:You From the Server side ? How do I do it?
Do you need to configure the web browser to use an internet proxy?
>>> R:From my laptop yes, but from the server uusualy not, because the
gateway and the Netmask are not the same as far as I understood.
If yes, you most probably have to configure the package management system
to also use that proxy.

The output

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
#acquire::http::Proxy "http://10.100.48.88:3128"; >>> This Was the Proxy
but meantime the Network Admin Disbaled the Proxy So I comment That line

In Another Server I have exteranl acess as we can see below and without
proxy

I guess I misunderstood your server/client setup in my previous message.
As you are mentioning "server", I guess there is no web browser available on that machine.

Is the following now a correct interpretation:
cmovel-lb01 is a server, where updating does not work
cmoveldb02 is another server, where updating does work?

Try the command

ping -n -c 5 8.8.8.8

and provide its output when executed on the cmovel-lb01 machine (and on the other one for comparison purposes)!

ok. network access is available.
what does the command

ping -c 3 us.archive.ubuntu.com

give on both servers? Maybe name resolution has a problem on one of them?

We do not use DNS Servers

This output confirms that name resolution (translating server names into numerical addresses) is working only on one of the Servers.

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf

might help, but I think you should better discuss that issue with the responsible network admin.

I did that but didn't change anything.
What I realize now, is the error message is not anymore related with a
connection failure but rather than with this
" InRelease "
Besides, this issues always happens with the "amd64" architecture ... I
don't know why ...

The data that you copy/paste into this question document is contradictory.

In you original post you provided the output of the command
find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;
which showed only /etc/apt/sources.list with references to the lucid release.

Your most recent post suddenly spits out problems with finding repositores for hardy, precise, lenny and something called trisquel dagda (that I never heard of).

I am sorry to say that, but I have to refuse continuing to help as long as these inconsitencies have not been cleared, as I do not know the real background.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Carlos Carvalho for more information if necessary.
