apt-get update 404 Debian 5.0.4

Question

Hi I have a NAS(My book live) with Debian 5.0.4 and when I run

apt-get update

I get the following error:

Err http://ftp.us.debian.org squeeze/main Packages
  404 Not Found [IP: 128.30.2.26 80]
Err http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy Release

Here is my sources list

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main

Output of

lsb_release -da

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.4 (lenny)
Release:    5.0.4
Codename:   lenny

Any suggestions how to fix it? I am trying to get latest package of duplicity.

@IporSircer can you explain a little more with exact steps? I am very new to Linux. — Varun, Oct 11 '16 at 04:19
Squeezy is quite old, it is only available on archive server. The best you can do just simply ignore the error. — Ipor Sircer, Oct 11 '16 at 04:21
@IporSircer I was to install latest of duplicity http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ Is there a way to do it? — Varun, Oct 11 '16 at 04:27

You are using an EOL debian release. First you need to edit you sources.list by commenting out all urls :

#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main

Then add the following lines:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ lenny contrib main non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security lenny/updates main

Install the debian-archive-keyring package :

sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
sudo apt-get update

NB An EOL debian release doesn't receive the security updates.

thanks for the instructions. they mainly seem to work but I do get this warning — Varun, Oct 12 '16 at 18:29
