Please forgive me if this doesn't seem to be exactly on topic, but I was re-directed here after posting a separate bug. My problem isn't so much that I wasn't allowed to use my own sources.list; while I would like to do that, it's not the end of the world if my machine had to go out and pull down the updates from archive.ubuntu.com. My problem was that I had a local mirror that didn't have the Intrepid packages, and my machine tried to use the mirror to do the dist-upgrade anyway, and then, after it obviously didn't find any updated packages, told me that I needed to remove all of my installed packages because they were obsolete. While I realize it's my own fault for not verifying that the Intrepid files existed on my local mirror, it seems it shouldn't be too complicated for Ubuntu to make sure the files exist for the upgrade its attempting before it tries to upgrade.
