I need a copy of the default /etc/apt/sources.list [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• How do I restore the default repositories? 3 answers

I upgraded to the RC some time ago and the sources.list is sort of screwed up, meaning I'm getting a lot of 404's when updating. Could someone please post an original sources.list for Maverick?

Here you have ;)

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-security multiverse

Make sure the problem is on the sources.list and not in standalone PPAs .list If you wanna know what exactly is the problem, try to update your packages list on a graphical tool (as Synaptic or Update Manager) not the gnome-terminal. It will show you what adress is wrong.

Answer 2

Since 10.10 is now unsupported, you have to use the server old-releases.ubuntu.com for everything. For example a line like:

deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted

Should change to:

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted

Here is a complete /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security multiverse

After updating your file:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
