Question
Can't use apt-get (404 errors on mirrors)

So, I tried to run a simple command: apt-get install git
And got some errors such as bellow:
Err http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu/ utopic-updates/main git-man all 1:2.1.0-1ubuntu0.1
404 Not Found [IP: 192.241.164.26 80]
...
Then when I try to run apt-get update I get a lot of errors like these:
Err http://mirrors.digitalocean.com utopic/main Sources
404 Not Found [IP: 192.241.164.26 80]
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/utopic-security/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80]
...
Anyone have any idea of what the heck is happening?
(My VM is Ubuntu 14.10 x64)

Check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-an-old-unsupported-release – This should do the trick.
@BrookDO Yes, it did. Thanks to everyone involved.
@claudiohw did fishy’s suggestion work for you?

@fishy Any idea how can I redirect the update URLs to the /ubuntu-old/ one?
utopic seems to be showing up in /ubuntu-old/ instead of /ubuntu/: http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu-old/dists/ http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-old/dists/
