Sorry, that's not it.  I ran it again, copying (except for the typo in
the do-release-upgrade line) the text word for word.  Same error
message.

I _do_ find it weird that I don't have a prerequists-sources.list file
in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Instead, I have a whole bunch of old dapper and edgy repository
addresses (inside six or so different files), which could be what's
screwing this up (I think maybe do-release-update or ./gutsy is
rewriting these addresses with 'feisty' in place of 'dapper' or 'edgy').
I tried deleting them, and editing them by hand, but both of those
attempted solutions didn't work.

also, I have sources.list~ and sources.list~~ in the directory as well,
and they have deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.... entries as well.

If I could just get my hands on a workable list of contents of /etc/apt/
that contain repository information, I could replace the current files
in there, and I bet this would all work, but I don't know where to get
such a thing.

Anyway, thanks for the help.
