Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Ubuntu 6.10.
System→Administration→Software Properties. When you have chosen mirror
different from main server, and you add some type of update, a new line
in /etc/apt/sources.list does not respect chosen mirror, and connects to
main server. Switching "Download from:" to main server and back to
mirror solves the problem.
How to reproduce:
1. Start System Properties.
2. Choose "Download from" to some local-country mirror, not main server.
3. Switch to Internet Updates tab, and add some type of update (ie. proposed
updates, or backports).
4. Look to /etc/apt/sources.list. The lastly added update type is downloading
from archive.ubuntu.com, whilst all previous are downloading from
[country-code].archive.ubuntu.com.
How to work-around the bug:
5. Switch "Download from" to main server, and back to local mirror.
6. Look to /etc/apt/sources.list. The lastly added update type is finally
downloading from [country-code].archive.ubuntu.com.
Happens everytime.
