[Bug 822910] Re: 6.06 upgrade fails due to bad repo?

[Robb Breckenridge]

Yeah, I've been doing "do-release-upgrade" from the CLI.

I've also tried the GUI updater and it has the same results 
"The system was unable to get the prerequisites for the upgrade".

To be clear you are using update-manager from the command to upgrade
your server from 6.06 to 8.04 is that correct?

  6.06 upgrade fails due to bad repo?

Bug description:
  Trying to upgrade a server from 6.06 to 8.04.
  I think it's failing because it can't find http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-backports main/debian-installer

  That missing repo seems to automatically get added to
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.dapper.list

  I have do not have any backports enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list.
  I've tried commenting out the line in prerequists-sources.dapper.list
  and making the file read-only, but it still gets added when I try to
  upgrade.

  Is this something you're able to update on the copy of prerequists-
  sources.dapper.list that gets pushed out?

  Here is a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.dapper.list   -- Happy to provide more info if it's useful.......
