O Ubuntu desde o 7.04 não fornece atualizações para a arquitetura do Power-PC como dito aqui no wiki . Então, como você atualiza? Simples, você faz o download e atualiza usando o Release CD's. Ou se você quiser receber atualizações, tente este método :
# deb cdrom:[Lubuntu 13.04 _Raring Ringtail_ - Release i386 (20130423.1)]/ raring main multiverse restricted universe
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

Eu tentei executar apt-get -s -o Dir::Etc::SourceList=sources.list.ubuntu update
para verificar a lista, mas o apt-get congelou em 70%, então não tenho certeza. Você pode ter que usar tentativa e erro para isso.
Ok, fiz algumas marteladas com o wget:
$ wget http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-ports/dists/raring-backports/main/binary-powerpc/Packages.gz
--2013-09-03 11:19:54-- http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-ports/dists/raring-backports/main/binary-powerpc/Packages.gz

Funciona. Ou pelo menos, é suposto.
