[ubuntu-za] Failed updates

[Adrianna Pińska]

trusty-security is actually on a separate server.  I am also on
Trusty; I checked my own sources.list file.  Make sure that you have
these lines:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security multiverse

(If you don't have deb-src entries for other things, or they're
commented out, you can just comment these deb-src lines out as well.)

I think you can also just have one entry for "main restricted universe
multiverse" instead of splitting them up.
