No release file for eoan on old-releases.ubuntu.com [closed]

As of about 7:15 am CST (UTC-6) on 2020-12-14, the Release file exists on http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/.


I have the same issue, can't upgrade because of this.

I solved my problem by going to the list of Ubuntu mirrors at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors

And going through them randomly, until I stumbled upon one that still had eoan: http://de.mirrors.clouvider.net/ubuntu/dists/

I added that mirror instead of old-releases.ubuntu.com, and apt update worked.

Of course, this will probably not last, so I will upgrade to a supported version ASAP.
