apt has never followed redirects, originally largely because they caused
hideous problems with mirror admins who enabled Apache's mod_speling.

This newly reported bug seems relevant as well here.

In accordance with the technical board decision documented in
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-March/000400.html,
the SPARC architecture has been moved to ports.ubuntu.com for Ubuntu
8.04 and beyond. Users of this architecture should take care to update
/etc/apt/sources.list. Old sources.list entries looked like this:

  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted

... while new entries should look like this:

  deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ hardy main restricted

A similar reminder goes for PowerPC users, since this architecture was
moved to ports.ubuntu.com in a previous Ubuntu release. If you are still
using archive.ubuntu.com on a PowerPC system, beware that this is likely
to stop working soon and you should migrate to ports.ubuntu.com as
above.

(A similar notice will be present in the Ubuntu 8.04 release notes.)


Is it possible to set up a HTTP redirect on old locations?
Would apt accept a HTTP 301 Moved Permanently?

Yes, this is correct. The final 8.04 release notes include more detail
on this:

AFAIK, it can also point to ports.ubuntu.com (just like regular x86
users can use archive.ubuntu.com instead of security.ubuntu.com)

compare:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/ (or http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/)

What should happen to security.ubuntu.com lines?
