Box chef/ubuntu-12.10 / 13.04 fails to install any packages

[wernerb]

The boxes chef/ubuntu-12.10 and chef/ubuntu-13.04 are available and working, however when installing packages 404 errors occur due to all packages being missing:

Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com quantal-backports/restricted i386 Package  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.15 80]
...

While I am not sure if this is deliberately done by ubuntu, the versions are end-of-life and the 13.10 and 14.04 are working as expected.

I am sure it is done deliberately by Ubuntu since, as you say, these versions are EOL.

So as not to break existing workflows, we don't remove EOL boxes, but we can't guarantee they work. So I am closing this as WONTFIX.
