Public bug reported:

Some links in the "Other Links" chapter
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Other_Links are
dead.

3. Adding extra repositories 
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/extra-repositories-adding.html 
leads to 404
(the closest existing match most probably is 
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/add-applications/C/adding-repos.html )
4. Adding, Removing and Updating Applications 
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/add-applications/C/index.html leads to 404
(the closest existing match most probably is 
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/add-applications/C/index.html )
5. The Debian Apt User Manual http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#apt-howto 
apparently does no more exist on that page (no such anchor)
(the closest existing match most probably is 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ which is marked "Obsolete 
Documentation")


Browsing the web documentation reveals some more astonishing facts:
https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/add-applications/C/index.html
does not exist at all, even if in launchpad code an entry 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-docs/natty/files/head:/add-applications/
 exists.
For oneiric and precise the pages 
https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/add-applications/C/index.html and 
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/add-applications/C/index.html do not exist, and I 
did not find a related launchpad code entry.
