Replacement PPA for Ubuntu Precise

  • 772

Today, when executing apt-get update after adding the R language repositories to apt, I received the following erros

Err http://ppa.launchpad.net http/ppa/ubuntu/precise Sources          
  404  Not Found
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net http/ppa/ubuntu/main Sources             
  404  Not Found
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net http/ppa/ubuntu/precise i386 Packages
  404  Not Found
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net http/ppa/ubuntu/main i386 Packages       
  404  Not Found

From the paths listed, they are from the Ubuntu Precise distribution, which is a LTS version. To fix these errors, what are the replacement paths?

I found 

http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ppa/lxc-lts/ubuntu/dists/precise/

but would like to confirm that this is the replacement path for the packages.

apt
