*In accordance with the technical board decision documented in
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-March/000400.html,
individuals using the PowerPC (also known as PPC) build of Xubuntu should
take care to update their /etc/apt/sources.list file.  Old sources.list
entries looked like this:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted

... while new entries should look like this:

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ hardy main restricted

If you are still using archive.ubuntu.com on a PowerPC system, beware that
the old sources list is likely to stop working soon and you should migrate
to ports.ubuntu.com as above.*

You can open your sources.list by pressing Alt+F2, entering gksudo "mousepad
/etc/apt/sources.list" and pressing Run. You can then replace the mentioned
lines with their new values.

Thanks!

Jim
