I've replace 'sarge' with 'oldstable' once. Now I try again and apt-get update gives the same result: Failed to fetch packages 404 not found. Here is the output from apt-get update: Err http://debian.yorku.ca oldstable/main Packages 404 Not Found Err http://security.debian.org oldstable/updates/main Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://debian.yorku.ca oldstable/main Release Ign http://security.debian.org oldstable/updates/main Release Err http://debian.yorku.ca oldstable/contrib Packages 404 Not Found Err http://security.debian.org oldstable/updates/contrib Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://debian.yorku.ca oldstable/contrib Release Ign http://security.debian.org oldstable/updates/contrib Release Err http://debian.yorku.ca oldstable/non-free Packages 404 Not Found Err http://security.debian.org oldstable/updates/non-free Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://debian.yorku.ca oldstable/non-free Release Ign http://security.debian.org oldstable/updates/non-free Release Err http://debian.yorku.ca oldstable/main Sources 404 Not Found Ign http://debian.yorku.ca oldstable/main Release Failed to fetch http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/dists/oldstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/dists/oldstable/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/dists/oldstable/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/dists/oldstable/main/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/oldstable/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/oldstable/updates/contrib/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/oldstable/updates/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Reading Package Lists...
