linux ubuntu apt-get top

You would have to open repository configuration file and change the repo location as originally suggested by piernov in a comment or in this answer. The file you need to edit is /etc/apt/sources.list and you need to replace all instances of archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com. After that, run

sudo apt-get update

This should get you back on the horse while you are still working on setting up a new server.

    I am in a corner situation where I need to maintain carefully a legacy server before I can plant for an upgrade.

    Actually an upgrade is not an option, I need to rebuild that server from scratch.

    In the meantime, I am trying to get a minimum of tools installed to monitor the server but I haven't been able to install any package.

      You're using a deprecated version of Ubuntu which isn't available anymore on official mirror. I would recommend you to migrate to a newer release. If you really can't, you can use this archive mirror: old-releases.ubuntu.com

      I can't for now. This would be a major task that need more preparation. See you can't just upgrade an old ubuntu hardy instance, it's on a different Rackspace hardware, you need to create a new server and install everything from scratch. Thanks for the link BTW, that's a start.
