Hi, Same problem here.  sources.list is overridden in upgrade process.

I tried Ante's solution (quoted below), but it didn't work for me.  More
of the same.  For the record, the error was:

Failed to fetch 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz
 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]

 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]

If anyone has further suggestions for workarounds, I'd like to hear
them.  For the record, I hope Tomasz's idea is implemented and works.

Cheers,
Joe

>>1. rm -rf /tmp/tmp*

>>3. rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.list
>>4. cd /tmp/(some random string)
>>4. edit prerequists-sources.list and replace ${countrymirror}archive with
