Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

I updated my system from Ubuntu 9.4 to 9.10 using update-manager. Due to
several reasons (explained below) I had some karmic entries in my
/etc/apt/sources.list, using pinning to manage the priorities. When I
updated to 9.10, update-manager didn't remove that entries, so I had
some little troubles after updating, until I removed them.

The reason to put it is that my laptop has problems with the ACPI table,
and ACPI didn't work with 9.04. But kernel from 9.10 has a workaround
for it, so I pinned that kernel in my 9.04.

The big problem is that I posted that solution at LinLap,
http://www.linlap.com/wiki/asus+f5gl , so when the new Ubuntu come out,
there will be more users with this problem. So I think that update-
manager should check for duplicated entries in sources.list and remove
them automagically when doing a dist-upgrade.
