Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
I upgraded from Dapper to Edgy this afternoon using this command: sudo update-manager -c After the upgrade, this line hadn't been removed from /etc/apt/sources.list: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)]/ breezy main restricted As a result, I had the problem described here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301752 That is, 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' wanted to remove several essential packages. I commented out the stale line in sources.list, and the problem went away. I believe update-manager should remove that line automatically as part of the upgrade. The danger is that people will either press ahead with the upgrade and make their systems unbootable, or hold back and be unable to download security updates. For that reason, I'm marking this bug as a security vulnerability. Forgive me if you feel that isn't appropriate. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- update-manager doesn't remove old CD from sources.list https://launchpad.net/bugs/73298 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
