How to install software on an old now unsupported Ubuntu version?
My organization has a server that has been running karmic for a long time. I'm working on a replacement server using 12.04 precise but before I make the switch I wanted to install the chef client on the box so I could tie it into a nagios package and monitor it.
Following the instructions on this page I get to the point where I try and do:
sudo apt-get install opscode-keyring
to which the system responds
opscode-keyring: Depends: apt (>= 0.7.25) but 0.7.23.1ubuntu2 is to be installed
I'm assuing that means run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to get the newer version of apt before trying to install that package.
Of course doing that throws lots of not found errors:
Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dhcp3/dhcp3 \-
client_3.1.2-1ubuntu7.3_i386.deb 404 Not Found
These boxes are running on amazon ec2
I get that this version is no longer "supported" and I'm trying to stop using it - but does that mean in the ubuntu world that after the last day of support for a version it just ceases to be able to install any of the updates?
Also, is there any way to force-upgrade something like karmic with the latest patches that were available before it was at end of life cycle?
