[Bug 989373] [NEW] cdromupgrade connects to internet despite selecting "no" at the prompt

[Mike Doherty]

Public bug reported:

cdromupgrade asks if you want to connect to the internet to get updated
package lists. The prompt specifically states that if you answer "no"
then the network won't be used at all. I answered "no" and the updater
tried to download new package lists. If I'm not connected to the
network, then that is a fatal error in the upgrade.

I'm attempting to upgrade by mounting the alternate CD, and running
./cdromupgrade
