[Bug 1002983] [NEW] Wrong URL / path used for repository

[drunken monkey]

Public bug reported:

Since 8 days the update manager (and command line apt-get) seems to use
a non-existent URL for one of the repositories. The error message I get
is this:

W:Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/universe/source/Sources  404  Not Found [IP: 141.30.13.20 80]
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Checking the URL in the browser, I see there's only Sources.gz and Sources.bz2.
Does anyone know why apt would think that's the right path, or how I could change that?
