Public bug reported:

First bug report so any advice would be appreciated.

Installed 12.10 with no worries and installed a bit of software and
added the redshift repo (https://launchpad.net/~jonls/+archive/redshift-
ppa). When i next tried to update my system with software updater
(1:0.172) stopped with the error

"Failed to download repository information"
 and 
"W:Failed to fetch 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonls/redshift-ppa/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources
  404  Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonls/redshift-ppa/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages
  404  Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonls/redshift-ppa/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages
  404  Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones 
used instead.". 

I fixed this by unchecking the redshift PPA in software sources.
I am sure update-manager used to continue updating all other packages while 
leaving the one that the source could not be found for, rather than not 
updating anything in the system including security because of one insignificant 
package?
