  • 13.04 is no longer supported, You need to upgrade to a supported version to use apt. In fact, even support for 13.10 will be dropped today. – Dan Jul 17 '14 at 08:35

When you run it, apt-get is not able to find the directory in the server.

With a browser you can try to follow the link http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages and you will find an error because it doesn't exist anymore the directory.

If you rise the path you will have the first non error page in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/. From here you can see which are the distribution you can still download.

So you can edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and substitute all the repository like http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/restricted/ with

  1. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/restricted/ to switch to a supported one. It is the 14.04 LTS, or Trusty Tahr, supported till April 2019...
  2. http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/restricted/ to change source to the old one.

A suggestion: dist-upgrade as you can.

If you need to remain with the old version, as suggested by diogo-melo, you can change your source list doing the replacement with the command:

sudo sed -i 's/archive.ubuntu/old-releases.ubuntu/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

I strongly recommend to do in advance a backup copy of your source.list file

 sudo cp -i  /etc/apt/sources.list  /etc/apt/sources.list.old

It will prompt in case sources.list.old already exists and, in this case, feel you free to use another name for the backup copy.
