cannot update software

Asked by laurlaur576

Hi,

I have an issue.

I cannot update my software on my Ubuntu (Dell Inspiron mini 9) - It is giving me the following message:

Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/multiverse/binary-lpia/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I do not know what to do; I have rebooted, so I know that is not the issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
