problem to update ubuntu 12.10 15 weeks 18 hours ago

When trying to update Ubuntu, I receive the following failed error message.

I suppose this is the right place for this new thread.

W:Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/dists/pangolin/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.190 80] , W:Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/dists/pangolin/universe/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.190 80] , E:Some index files failed to download.

I encountered source related errors when trying to run: sudo apt-get install ruby rubygem I tried to switch quite a few different servers, but non of them works.

Any ideas ?
