问题背景

做项目时文档要求ubuntu21.04版本，按照文档要求换了相应的ubuntu版本，换源也按照要求来，但是每次 apt-get update 的时候，还是失败，提示404 Not Found [IP: 185.125.190.39 80]。

问题解析

ubuntu21.04版本是中间过渡版本，官方已经不维护。

解决途径

1. 替换ubuntu-old-releases，先后找了官网的源，华中科技大学的源和中科大的源，全都失败。

2.重装20.04 LTS，替换源，成功。 

问题总结

关于ubuntu的中间版本，所谓民间的源也只是官方的镜像，官方不维护则这些镜像源也没有用，我就像个冤大头摸索了三个小时。

LTS是long term support的简称，意思是长期支持，也就是服务支持会不停更新，一般是偶数年发布，也就是18.04（这个也快要不支持了，所以不推荐现在安装这个版本）,20.04和最新的22.04这些版本。
