I was trying to install some packages from the Software Centre, running 14.10 Ubuntu by the way, but it said I had to use the multiverse and universe repositories. I tried looking for other answers but it didn't work, it said I could install it but this was the outcome:

check your internet

There was something like: 

W:Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80]

I can't even use the apt-get upgrade command!

Normally, you can enable the universe and multiverse repositories through the terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository multiverse

But as you are using 14.10 which is outdated, the official repositories have been moved to a different location and this won't work.

Please upgrade your system! This question will be helpful:

  • When I try that it says it has already been enabled for all sources! – The Killj0y Nov 25 '15 at 17:33
  • @A.B. Sorry, missed the 14.10 when I wrote the first version. Edited the answer. No, the repositories get moved to an archive-server (old-releases.ubuntu.com) when the release reaches end-of-life. – Byte Commander Nov 25 '15 at 17:34

    @TheKillj0y Instead of writing "Thank you!", you should accept the answer by clicking on the grey tick symbol on the left of it. Also make sure you have invested two minutes of your time into reading our little [tour] page to learn the basics about how AskUbuntu.com works. Thanks! – Byte Commander Nov 25 '15 at 17:58
