Ubuntu has a great tool named apt-get to install and manage applications. However, if you’re using old version of Ubuntu, you may run into this error:
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-security/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80]
This error will follow you whatever you do with apt-get.
Solution
Since you’re using old version of ubuntu, packages that you need are not under archive.ubuntu.com anymore. Instead, you have to use old-releases.ubuntu.com as server address. In order to change it:
- Type this command on terminal:
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
- Change all archive.ubuntu.com strings to old-releases.ubuntu.com
