Public bug reported:
In 12.10, Update Manager now shows a dialog while automatically checking
for updates. However, if any repository in your sources.list(.d) is
invalid, Update Manager will not continue. This is obviously not the
functionality desired by a user, who still wants to update packages even
if one source is bad. If a third-party repository or PPA is taken down,
that should not stop the entire system from updating.
In my case, the failing repo is my own. As I just upgraded my
workstation yesterday, I have not yet set up a quantal build environment
on our build server and fully expected the repo failure. I did not
expect that failure to break Update Manager.
