I have to work with a Lenny VM, and I can't get apt-get to work. I already changed source.list to use archive repositories which let download some files via apt-get update, but not all. I keep getting errors such as :

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages  404 Not Found

I verified my proxy by using it in a Debian 8 VM and it works. Is there something else I need to configure ? Where can the problem come from ?

Edit: Here is the content of /etc/apt/source.list:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

  • Isn't archive.debian.org supposed to give access to repositories for old distributions ?

  • When you are behind a proxy, do you have apt configured to use it?

Have a look at http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/.

There are only 3 folders

  • contrib
  • main
  • non-free

Updates does not exist (anymore). Change your source.list so that it only contains main and optional contrib and nonfree and try again.
