apt-get update for ubuntu 10.04
To complement techraf's answer, if you want to use old releases, you can access them using this address:
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com
To enable this, open the /etc/apt/sources.list
file with a text editor, and wherever you see archive.ubuntu.com
(the source of releases actively supported), change it to old-releases.ubuntu.com
(you can use the find & replace option to speed it up).
It's really trivial to verify, just browse to http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ (you can also drop theil
from the front) and check the results.
The site is responding, you get a connection, but there is no lucid
among the directories corresponding to Ubuntu releases.
Conclusion: the packages were removed.
