PPA seems to be constantly offline. Whenever I use sudo apt-get update, this error is shown:  W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ 404  Not Found   How do I fix these errors?

Is there a way to search though LaunchPad's PPAs for a certain package name? For instance if I was looking for PPAs with Firefox packages I could search for "firefox" and retrieve a list of all the PPAs which contain a firefox package.

Possible Duplicate:             TL;DR: sudo apt-get install ... saying "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."   The problem  I was trying to get the WebApps feature for PP and QQ following .  I ran the sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webapps/preview command to add the repository, but i got a connection error. Since I know my current ISP gives a shaky connection, I tried again and sure enough, it worked.  Then I ran sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview, but I realized we had to update apt-get first, so I hit Ctrl + C to stop it. Then I ran sudo apt-get update which worked w/o a fuss, but when I ran sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview again later, it showed an error message. Here's the dump:  Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  unity-webapps-preview : Depends: xul-ext-unity but it is not going to be installed                          Depends: xul-ext-websites-integration but it is not going to be installed                          Depends: xul-ext-webaccounts but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.   I think this might be because of me interrupting the earlier command. It hadn't got a chance to output anything, though — I stopped it pretty fast.  What I tried  Commands  I tried these:-   sudo apt-get install --fix-broken sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get -f install   But even after running sudo apt-get upgrade after every try, none of them worked.  Purging  I tried purging the repository, but that didn't work either. First, I got the package using sudoapt-get install ppa-purgeand then tried to purge the WebApps repo usingsudo ppa-purge ppa:webapps/preview`.  Manually installing dependencies  If you look at the error dump carefully, it says:     Depends: xul-ext-unity but it is not going to be installed   Depends: xul-ext-websites-integration but it is not going to be installed   Depends: xul-ext-webaccounts but it is not going to be installed   So I tried installing them manually. I ran sudo apt-get install xul-ext-unity, but got this:     Depends: xul-ext-websites-integration but it is not going to be installed   Breaks: firefox (>= 15.+) but 16.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn4 is to be installed   I have no idea what the second part means, but I tried resolving the first. Running sudo apt-get install xul-ext-websites-integration gave:     xul-ext-websites-integration : Breaks: firefox (>= 15.+) but 16.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn4 is to be installed   As a last resort, I tried sudo apt-get install xul-ext-webaccounts, but that gave the sane message too:     Breaks: firefox (>= 14.+) but 16.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn4 is to be installed   What does Breaks: firefox (&gt;= 14.+) but 16.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn4 is to be installed mean?  Research  I tried searching , looking at a couple of , looking at  and searching on AU, but to no avail. Help would be appreciated.

On Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, I completely removed/uninstalled my apt-get because of problems I was having.  I tried re-installing it with dpkg by runnung:   $ sudo wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt-transport-https_1.0.1ubuntu2.23_amd64.deb   to install apt-transport-https then it's dependency:  $ sudo wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/libapt-pkg4.12_1.0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb   then I ran the two following commands  $ sudo dpkg -i libapt-pkg4.12_1.0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i apt-transport-https_1.0.1ubuntu2.23_amd64.deb   but when I try run apt or apt-get I still get the error     command not found   I'm still pretty new to ubuntu and I'm not sure what to do

There are now errors when updating and I cannot install most software due to a corrupted  /etc/apt/sources.list   file. Is there a copy I can download to replace it?  The file would be for Ubuntu 12.04 (Final Beta) in the United States.

After installing Ubuntu 12.04 (clean install) I fetch a bunch of program via synaptic (installed specially), all programs worked except Gimp 2.8. So I tried purging Gimp, install again (no luck). Checked broken packages and reinstalled them. When using the Software center I get this MSG:  Failed to fetch http://is.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openexr/libopenexr6_1.6.1-4.1_amd64.deb Size mismatch   Tried also this:  sudo apt-get purge gimp* sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gimp   And get this MSG:  Failed to fetch http://is.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openexr/libopenexr6_1.6.1-4.1_amd64.deb  Size mismatch E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?   I am wondering if the Icelandic Archive has an outdated version or something?   would really like to install Gimp 2.8 but Gimp 2.6 is OK to.   I am also wondering if I am doing something wrong?
