Answer 1

With regard to the "Failed to fetch" warnings, this is related to the 18-month EOL of Jaunty. The package repositories have moved to another server - from archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com. Try changing the your /etc/apt/sources.list accordingly, as shown in the sources.list in this page:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Jaunty

You don't need to actually upgrade your release, just change the APT sources.

Answer 2

Ubuntu 9.04 a.k.a. "Jaunty" has been end-of-life since last month. I suspect the error you see is related to that...

You should upgrade your system to a newer release to ensure you keep getting security updates.

Answer 3

Try this

• Restore the default keys in Synaptic (Settings-->Administration-->Synaptic Package Manager)

• In Synaptic Package Manager goto Settings-->Repositories

• It will open software sources,goto Authentication tab and click restore defaults.

And then type the following in terminal.

sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get upodate

I hope this will solve your problem.If you have any problems let me know through comments.

Answer 4
