How can I fix a 404 Error using a PPA?

I followed boost-latest webpage.

I use ubuntu 11.04(natty).

I add repository success:

  sam@sam:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boost-latest/ppa
  Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv D9CFF117BD794DCE7C080E310CFB84AE029DB5C7
  gpg: requesting key 029DB5C7 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
  gpg: key 029DB5C7: "Launchpad boost-latest" not changed
  gpg: Total number processed: 1
  gpg:              unchanged: 1
  sam@sam:~$                   

But when I apt-get update, it shows the error:

    It's not the same question,because I want to install boost but 404 happened unfortunately, not just remove the repository which disappeared.

That PPA appears to be obsolete and hasn't been updated since 2010. The 404 error is expected since the latest Ubuntu the PPA provides packages for is 10.10 Maverick.

Please consider using the Boost libraries provided in the official repositories. If you need a newer version, you can try finding another ppa or building from source OR possibly upgrading your Ubuntu.
