When I perform a
$ sudo apt-get update
I have gotten the following errors:
W: Failed to fetch
http://www.linuxtrack.eu/repositories/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources
404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch

404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
Then I discovered (after simply trying to go to Linuxtrack.eu with my web browser) that Linuxtrack.eu currently redirects to https://github.com/uglyDwarf/linuxtrack . Down at the bottom of the page is a DOWNLOAD link: https://github.com/uglyDwarf/linuxtrack/wiki/Downloads .
This appears to be an archive or NEW repository for Linuxtrack.
For DEBIAN versions- such as Xubuntu 14.04, they give you the following link:
https://github.com/uglyDwarf/linuxtrack/wiki/New-Build-Linux-(Debian-based)
OK, so my question is, how do I make apt-get to stop looking for Linuxtrack.eu, and instead look at the correct website? I'm assuming that I would need to uninstall something.
Also, if I go into the Ubuntu Software Center, do a search for "Linuxtrack", it lists the software as a Metapackage, and even provides an install button. BUT, it also lists the developer website as
https://code.google.com/archive/p/linux-track/,
which if you click on it shows the following:
"Due to the comming shutdown of the Google code, the project was moved to the GitHub. The new project page is
https://github.com/uglyDwarf/linuxtrack"
So I'm also assuming that Ubuntu's Launchpad ALSO needs to be updated so as to reflect the corrected links, etc.
How do I make apt-get look for the correct links?
/etc/apt/sources.list
and/etc/apt/sources.list.d/
, and doesn't in this case. – Colin Watson Sep 06 '16 at 10:48
