Title:
  installing/updating tools need to detect EOL versions

Status in Apport crash detection/reporting:
  New
Status in Ubuntu Software Center:
  New
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Digging around bugs reported on bugs.launchpad, i've seen a bunch of reports 
rised by users (mostly new comers i suppose) not knowing about versions having 
reached EndOfLife.
   Most of these reports was against "solftware-center" : like, "got server 
error 500" or "i does not understand why software-center cant download even if 
my network works with the browser". So launchpad get flooded by invalid reports.

  Users have to be aware of such a case : the different tools
  (installer/updater) should detect the different EOL version, and be
  able to display a popup message saying something like "that version is
  no more available, choose a newer ubuntu release"; on the other hand
  Apport also need to refuse such reports.

  Related packages : apt, synaptic, software-center (for the gnome
  world; but i suppose the other DEs are also concerned)
