I don't mean this specific URL, I mean the necessity of stripping your sources.list to the bare minimum in order to do a dist. upgrade. Using a big button on upgrade manager for "dist. upgrade" implies that you can press it and get your dist. upgraded. In fact, if what I'm understanding here is correct, you actually need to reduce your sources.list to an official minimum. This is not a major problem for anybody with experience (though the need to do so is not prominently documented at the same place you click on the button or in the readme that pops up), but it is a command-line user task that is unnecessary and might scare off novice users. My proposal for the short term is that a prominent note be added to the pop up window that appears after you select dist. upgrade from the upgrade manager asking you to comment out anything but the official repositories. For the longer term, why not build and use a temporary sources.list for the upgrade? This would make the whole process invisible to the user and is well worth doing. -dan > -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Department Chair and Associate Professor of English Director, Digital Medievalist Project http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/ Chair, Text Encoding Initiative http://www.tei-c.org/ Department of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Vox +1 403 329-2377 Fax +1 403 382-7191 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/ -- Dist-upgrade Edgy-->Feisty has incorrect URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107752 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
