all the answers on this questions are outdated by now, which is logical.
If you're still using old release (Ubuntu < 12.04)and still want to get updates using apt-get use the following source.list file:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates main
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates main
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates universe
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-security main
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-security main
