Re: Problem with apt-get update command: failed to fetch packages 404 not found
I've replace 'sarge' with 'oldstable' once. Now I try
again and apt-get update gives the same result: Failed
to fetch packages 404 not found. Here is the output
from apt-get update:

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these
problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been
ignored, or old ones used instead.
