I have a problem with 'apt-get update' command and it bugs me for weeks. I've tried to update Debian with the command 'apt-get update' and it failed to fetch packages. I've fixed the etc/apt/sources.list file but It doesn't help me at all. I've tried apt-setup and it failed as well with the same message such as 'Failed to fetch'. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the error produced by apt-get update: sistership:/etc/apt# apt-get update Err http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/main Packages 404 Not Found Err http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/main Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/main Release Ign http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/main Release Err http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/contrib Packages 404 Not Found Err http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/contrib Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/contrib Release Ign http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/contrib Release Err http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/non-free Packages 404 Not Found Err http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/non-free Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/non-free Release Ign http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/non-free Release Err http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/main Sources 404 Not Found Ign http://debian.yorku.ca sarge/main Release Failed to fetch http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/dists/sarge/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/dists/sarge/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/dists/sarge/main/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/sarge/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/sarge/updates/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/sarge/updates/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Reading Package Lists...
