Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

Upgrading a Mac G3 from Ubuntu 6.06.2 to 8.04 fails at the beginning
(prerequisites).

Command:
 gksu "update-manager -d"

Error (from /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log):
 'Failed to fetch 
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/dapper-backports/main/debian-installer/binary-powerpc/Packages.gz
 404 Not Found'

This URL is generated by the application and inserted into
"/etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.dapper-ports.list", which
is then used by the upgrader.

I've checked manually, and the URL in fact does not exist!

I have found another URL that may be the correct one, but I'm not sure:
 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-backports/main/debian-installer/binary-powerpc/Packages.gz

Anyway, what is the workaround for this?
