Debian lenny PPC sources down?

[GummyGum173]

Hello guys,

I've recently installed a Debian Lenny (5.0) distro on my Wii (there is no newer version of Debian for the Wii), and when I ran apt-get update, I got the following error:

Code: Select all

W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/lenny/updates/main/binary-powerpc/Packages  404 Not Found [IP: 195.20.242.89 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/lenny/updates/contrib/binary-powerpc/Packages  404 Not Found [IP: 195.20.242.89 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-powerpc/Packages  404 Not Found [IP: 149.20.4.71 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/lenny/contrib/binary-powerpc/Packages  404 Not Found [IP: 149.20.4.71 80]

which basicly tells me that those 4 sources are down.
Are they like, gone off of Debian? or have they moved them to a new address as Lenny is no longer supported?

I'd appreciate if you guys guide me on how to update the sources list to a new one with updated addresses.

To install packages you would need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to the archives, more details here

The security bits you can ignore... There isn't going to be any security support as it's 'end of life'.

thanks for the info!
Now, how do I make apt-get ignore the public keys or whatever it is?
like:
apt-get --allow-unauthenticated upgrade

but without having to write --allow-unathenticated all the time?

Hmmm.... Not a clue I'm afraid. Only suggestion I can think of is to check debian-archive-keyring is installed from the repo you're using. If that doesn't work start digging through the wiki / mailing lists, or hope someone comes along who uses an older version and can tell you.
