At first I thought this was due to the EOL for 10.04 but the 10.0 apt repository is still present in the repository configurator. I couldn’t find an announcement announcing the termination of these repositories.

It was announced in the MariaDB 5.5.43 release notes that the Ubuntu
10.04 "lucid" repository would be going away with the release of
MariaDB 5.5.44:

The MariaDB 10.0 repositories for Ubuntu 10.04 will be going away when
MariaDB 10.0.20 is released. This was announced in the MariaDB 10.0.18
release notes:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-10018-release-notes/

(Originally, the repo was scheduled to be deactivated with the 10.0.19
release, but because that release was an emergency one, coming only
two days after 10.0.18, we went ahead and built 10.0.19 packages for
lucid.)

They're going away forever. The builders have already been turned off,
so we're not building packages  for lucid any more.

So when the next 10.0 and 10.1 releases come, their lucid repositories
will go away.

Thanks.
