Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
"apt-get update" has been working without incident for months.
A few days ago this message is being reported:
W: Failed to fetch http://
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I examined the URL location. Indeed, there is no such directory. There is a "hardy-security" directory.
There are hardy lines in /etc/apt/
deb http://
deb-src http://
Since the system is configured with 8.04, Hardy, can the "edgy-security" entries simply be removed? Is this a valid fix?

This question was originally filed as bug #268298.
This isn't a bug as such.
There should not be any entries in sources.list which refer to edgy (or indeed any other previous release of Ubuntu).
The reason for the 404 is because since edgy is now no longer in support, it has moved form archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.
