Let's say you're using Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail, released in April 2013) and it just went End-of-Life on you, because it's supported for only 6 months, and the deprecated packages are taken down after 12 months.
You'll probably figure this out the hard way. When you run sudo apt-get update
, it will eventually report these errors:
