Hi guys,
today Update Manager wants to download some updates - starts and then reports the
ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR
W:Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/dists/maya ... ce/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.191 80]
, W:Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/dists/maya ... 6/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.191 80]
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
What are we to do if there is an error upstream? Should we wait, or take action? What action?

Hello, vistad.
Check the output of the command please. Here is mine just for reference
The only line which may mention the name "maya" is this line: All other lines which point to Canonical or third party repositories have to use "precise" instead of "maya", because only the Mint repositories will know the name of "maya".
So you may want to correct your sources.list file and try again.
HTH,
Karl

[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

Hello, vistad.
As remoulder has explained these 2 lines in the file /etc/apt/sources.list need fixing.

Re: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com
Guys, thank you very much! I edited the records as you said and the Update Manager stopped complaining. I just wonder - I didn't edit that file manually: how those wrong records got into it? It should be someone's dirty code. Thank you once again!

Re: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com
I've wondered that myself. It happens often enough that you know not everyone is altering their sources themselves. It's got to be some goofy code.vistad wrote:I just wonder - I didn't edit that file manually: how those wrong records got into it?
