Package repositories for old Ubuntu releases are dropped from Ubuntu’s upstream package repository and are removed from Ubuntu package mirrors. However, Ubuntu still makes them available here: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/. Here is an example /etc/apt/sources.list file for Ubuntu Dapper:
# # /etc/apt/sources.list # Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 # # # main and restricted: # # These are the primary package archives. # deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted # # universe: # # Additional software from the larger pool of debian packages.
