Where can I get the old repositories for Ubuntu versions? In my case, it's 9.04 Jaunty?
I found all the official repositories and their mirrors have been removed. I am wondering where I can get the repository list for this version?
Your system is End-of-Life (EOL), therefore not officially supported. Unless you have a good reason for sticking with 9.04, upgrade to a newer version. Go to the next long-term supported release for Ubuntu, which will continue to receive updates.
To access old Ubuntu repositories, take a look at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/.
There is also an official Ubuntu documentation for EOL upgrades
They say you should be able to access your packages by putting the following into /etc/apt/sources.list
. Important: Change CODENAME
to your distribution's code name, e.g. jaunty
.
## EOL upgrade sources.list
# Required
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME-security main restricted universe multiverse
# Optional
#deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME-backports main restricted universe multiverse
Just run apt-get update
and you can use them.
i386
, amd64
, but what about, e.g., arm64
(for which you originally would pull from ports.ubuntu.com
)?

You may try the ustc mirror ...
Depending on what you actually need, replace the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list
Example: In my case, I need ports for arm (32), for 'precise'.
In this file, the original sources were //ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/
.
All occurrences needed to be replaced by //old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
.
It wasn't anything but obvious, that the name of the sub-dir also had to be changed.
