Unable to install gitosis

When I try to run apt-get install gitosis I get

Err http://ftp.debian.org lenny/main gitosis 0.2+20080825-2
  404 Not Found [IP: 130.89.148.12 80]
Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gitosis/gitosis_0.2+20080825-2_all.deb  404 Not Found [IP: 130.89.148.12 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

When I try to run apt-get update I also get 404 errors for other packages and the same happens when I try to update these packages via Virtualmin.

How can I go about installing gitosis with –fix-missing, what's the command line syntax?

The correct file actually seems to be here http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/ … 11_all.deb">http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gitosis/gitosis0.2+20090917-11all.deb

as an mild suggestion, may want to consider using gitolite; gitosis maintenance seems to have fallen by the wayside as of recently.

apt-get install gitolite


Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Couldn't find package gitolite

Lenny has reached its end of life- you really need to upgrade, as there are no more security updates- http://lists.debian.org/debian-security … 00238.html">http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2011/msg00238.html

To upgrade, do I have to do a rebuild and basically reinstall the whole server from scratch?

EDIT: okay, got it! http://library.linode.com/troubleshooti … -6-squeeze">http://library.linode.com/troubleshooting/upgrade-to-debian-6-squeeze

Thanks for your help.
