Ouch.

I knew hardy support would eventually go away, but not before the next LTS release which isn’t scheduled for 4 months.

Fixed, 3 Days later ….

After waiting a few days for the depot repository team to fix the issue, I decided to comment out the bad sources from /etc/apt/sources.list.

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list 
# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu hardy main
# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/madman2k/ubuntu hardy main universe
sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade

All better. No updates needed. Whether this is needed on all our Ubuntu machines will be determined during weekend maintenance.
