[SOLVED]Error fetching packages during update 8.04 to 8.10 (dutch)

[Jeroen Oud]

While updating the dutch version of ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 I got the following errors.

Failed to fetch http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xserver-xorg-video-nsc/xserver-xorg-video-nsc_2.8.3-4ubuntu1_i386.deb 404 Not Found

After removing these packages the update worked fine.

Can you reproduce the error?
Maybe the server was temporarily down.

[Jeroen Oud (jeroen-oud)]

I can't reproduce the error, I have upgraded to 8.10 by removing these
packages.

For better readability

At the time I could reproduce the error and all other packages dowloaded just fine.

(I can't reproduce the error, I have upgraded to 8.10 by removing these packages.)

You can't reproduce the error, so you can just install the packages you need again?

[Jeroen Oud (jeroen-oud)]

At the time I could reproduce the error and after uninstalling a package the
list got shorter.

If I now see correctly the packages are available on the webserver and the
update should not give these errors anymore. Maybe the dutch archive was out
of sync.
