    Problems and Error messages after upgrading to 12.10

    I had a bit of a drama upgrading from 12.40 to 12.10 when the upgrade froze at the point where I think it was trying to upgrade dropbox.

    Using dpkg --configure -a I was able to complete the upgrade but I know have a few small problems.
    1. I get the following error message: Failed to download http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...source/Sources 404 Not Found Failed to download http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...source/Sources 404 Not Found Failed to download http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...source/Sources 404 Not Found Failed to download http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...source/Sources 404 Not Found Failed to download http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...-i386/Packages 404 Not Found Failed to download http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...-i386/Packages 404 Not Found Failed to download http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...-i386/Packages 404 Not Found Failed to download http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
    2. I also have the error message W: GPG error: http://repository.spotify.com stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 082CCEDF94558F59
    3. When I use the update manager to check for software upgrades I get the message "No updates are available. Last checked 1 day and 21 hours ago" This seems strange as I last checked a few minutes ago.


    I suspect these issues are to do with the software repository settings, Can anyone guide me how to fix this? Many thanks in advance.

    It's always a good idea to disable PPA and third-party repositories before performing a version upgrade.

    The reason you're getting those error messages is because they're pointing to locations that no longer exist, because the Karmic Koala edition is discontinued. Please show the output of
    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    and
    Code:
    tail -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

      Thanks Steve for the help.
      Here's the output.
      BTW what does PPA stand for?

        In your sources.list file, these lines:
        Code:
        deb http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
        have been superseded by these:
        Code:
        deb http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-backports restricted main multiverse universe
deb-src http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-backports restricted main multiverse universe
        so you could, if you want, open the file in a text editor and remove the two that contain karmic-backports. It's a bit curious why the updater didn't automatically disable them.

        Furthermore, these lines:
        Code:
        deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner
        should be modified. The word quantal should replace karmic.

        To edit the file, press Alt+F2, enter kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list and make the suggested changes.

        You can ignore the error about the missing keyfile for the Spotify repository.

        "PPA" is an acronym for personal package archive. In addition to the official Ubuntu (and flavor) repositories, Ubuntu's Launchpad service hosts PPAs. PPAs are popular ways to obtain software updates outside the normal cycle, and also provide third-party developers a platform to compile and distribute their software.
