Cannot Install Wine Windows platform loader both from Terminal and software Center

Question

I recently installed Ubuntu 13.04 on my PC. I want to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, so I tried to install WINE.

I tried to install from the Terminal and from the Software Center. Both times, it failed in the middle of process. This is the error.

W:Failed to fetch http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
W:Failed to fetch http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/restricted/source/Sources  404  Not Found
E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

How can I fix this?

Something wrong with the repositories, as you can see from the 404 not found part. Have you tried other repositories/sources? You can change them through Edit > Software Sources on Ubuntu Software Center — João André, Jul 30 '13 at 20:06
I dont find edit option in the Software Center. I tried wine 1.5. Should I go for any other version? — Muhammad Mansoor, Jul 30 '13 at 20:49
What exactly is giving that error? Wine installation or MS Visual Studio installation through Wine? I seriously wouldn't recommend installing MS Visual Studio at all — João André, Jul 30 '13 at 23:09
Does this answer your question? How can I fix a 404 Error when using a PPA or updating my package lists? — karel, Apr 02 '22 at 05:29

The problem was with my server. As I switched my download Server from Pakistan to main server I am able to download and install wine. Thanks for sparing time!
