I want to upgrade version 13.10 to 14.04. This is output that I get:

W: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy-security/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages 403 Forbidden
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

My Ubuntu version is 13.10 Saucy.

A 403 error would be a problem with the remote web site...

Opening the URL directly in a web browser gives this more informative error message

The requested URL /ubuntu/dists/saucy-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages was not found on this server.

From this it's a short step to checking whether Saucy still exists. Looking at http://releases.ubuntu.com/ it's possible to see that it's not mainline, but that http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ suggests it should be available.

Looking more closely with a web browser shows that although http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages doesn't exist, the same file with a .bz2 and .gz suffix does exist. Furthermore the same configuration exists for the current live distribution.

Searching for this scenario finds Why can't apt find Packages file when compressed versions exist? on AskUbuntu, which suggests that the solution is as follows:

Turns out something was corrupt in my local apt repository. Resetting
it using
sudo rm -fr /var/lib/apt/lists/*
fixed things.

try adding the host below from /etc/hosts/ on the last line

91.189.92.201 ph.archive.ubuntu.com

first to check the address "E: Failed to fetch http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libxinerama/libxinerama1_1.1.3-1_i386.deb 403 Forbidden [IP: 202.90.159.172 80]

change the address "ph.archive.ubuntu.com" from 202.90.159.172 to 91.189.92.201

here is the command:

vi /etc/hosts/
.
.
.

91.189.92.201 ph.archive.ubuntu.com

then save it :x!
