While doing my customary update/upgrade routine on a desktop PC that I am keeping alive, I ran into the following barrier:

[QUOTE]
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main i386 Packages
403 Forbidden
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages 403 Forbidden
[/QUOTE]

A Google search produced some Ubuntu answers, but when I tried the proposed Ubuntu solution on the Trisquel repository (short version: switch to the main repository) the above quoted response was repeated.

Is there a more orderly procedure in place ? Nothing about "ppa.launchpad.net 403" in the archives ...

In the meantime, I'll see about updating "trusty" to "belanos" ...

Thanks,
George Langford

Hi amenex
Launchpad has an irc chan on freenode, you may get more info about server/repo/.sources list on that specific package
#launchpad

There is no "trusty" section in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/ubuntu/updates anymore, hence the error.
