Feisty update broken due to end-of-life

Feisty got its End-Of-Life statement and it also means that the official Feisty repository was moved from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/. If you don't know what's going on and just run apt-get update, you'll see error messages like this ...

Reading package lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

To fix that, replace all references of archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com in your /etc/apt/sources.list and run update again.
