Failed to fetch 404 errors during apt-get commands

Question

I am using Xenomai linux, and I have internet on it, but when I do apt-get update or apt-get install I get bunch of errors like this http://security.debian.org/dists/etch/updates/contrib/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 212.211.132.250 80]

I understand it has to do with unsupported repositories, but I googled around, but couldn't find what I need to do to fix it for Xenomai.

This is my /etc/apt/sources.list:

   #
   # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r3 _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20080218-14:15]/ etch contrib main


   deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ etch main
   deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ etch main

   deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
   deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib

so, what is your question? Those files aren't existing. 404 is expectable... — PythoNic, Sep 16 '14 at 20:26

Take a look at this answer, looks like support for etch ended a while ago. Try using the archive instead of using the Netherlands mirror.

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib
