Hi all, a friend of mine in the UK (he's still on Gutsy) complained that recently Ubuntu's updates started failing, when he checks for updates, he gets this message:
"Could not download all repository indexes The repository might be no longer available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences." A quick check of the index of distro's on Ubuntu's site: http://www.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ Shows a history going all the way back to Dapper ... but jumps straight from Dapper to Hardy! I did find Gutsy distro's at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ Was Gutsy dropped while Dapper was retained because Dapper was a LTS release (but, 3 years from June 2006 would have been last month, and yet it's still there)? Or is there some other reason why? Regardless, I suggested he install the newest version, but I was curious as to why updates failed, with no warning. Any suggestions?
