Public bug reported: "apt-get update" has been working without incident for months.
A few days ago this message is being reported: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I examined the URL location. Indeed, there is no such directory. There is a "hardy-security" directory. There are hardy lines in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted multiverse deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted Since the system is configured with 8.04, Hardy, can the "edgy-security" entries simply be removed? Is this a valid fix?
