12.04 upgrade repos FAIL

Asked by euthyfro

i've been trying to upgrade to 12.04 since last night but i'm getting:

W:Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-backports/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.177 80]
, W:Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-backports/restricted/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.177 80]
, W:Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-backports/universe/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.177 80]
, W:Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-backports/multiverse/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.177 80]
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I read a post on here from someone w/similar problem that was solved by removing the offending repos from /etc/apt/sources.list.d however the repositories cited for me aren't in any of my source.list files.
Anyway i can upgrade w/o doing a fresh install of 12.04? i don't wanna back-up all the piles of stuff on here just for an update.

You should be able to remove the offending repositories from you sources list as superuser. Please try...
gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then remove the offending intrepid repos. Save and exit. Then do...
sudo apt-get update

trying

gksu gedit /etc/apt/source.list

just opened gedit with a blank "source.list" tab

Intrepid is EOL, so there will be no repos active for it.

Can you give the output of:

grep -R intrepid /etc/apt

Thanks

Also, did you upgrade direct from Intrepid to Precise?

grep -R intrepid /etc/apt

gave me:

ok run:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.save
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

find these 2 lines:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main

and change them to:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main

Save the new file, close gedit, then run:

sudo apt-get update

Is it smooth?

Lets clear up this mess:

cd $HOME
wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/sources.list
sudo cp ./sources.list /etc/apt
sudo apt-get update

Should be ok

why is intrepid still showing up? i thought i had removed that manually

Revision history for this message
euthyfro (euthyfro-g) said : 		#13

the intrepid backports were still showing up in sources.list.distUpgrade file so i re-did:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade
sudo apt-get update

and now i'll try again
