Comment 6 for bug 221023

Problem with the ubuntu mirrors?

I'm running the update as i type,
unfortunately i'll probably have a lot of work..

Whats up.

As in bug 41023 my the following lines are commented out by
the update-manager.

# deb ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirrors/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse
# deb-src ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirrors/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse

# deb ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirrors/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted universe multiverse
# deb-src ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirrors/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted universe multiverse

# deb ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirrors/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
# deb-src ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirrors/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse

So they are just commented out, and not changed to hardy..

So for now,
the "cleaning up" step takes like for-ever.
this got me wondering

some output

So what are my options?
1. let it run, and probably it will be a mess?
2. break the dist-upgrade process during step "cleaning up", adapt the sources.list by hand by changing all the dapper words to hardy (before the update manager reaches the last step 'restarting the system') ; and then run aptitude dist-upgrade?
3. somehow make sure that the update-manager recognizes the mirror i use as valid? (i only found /usr/share/update-manager/channels/ , if i add my mirror to this file, prior to upgrading, it will be recognize my mirror belnet as valid?)
4. change sources.list entries to ubuntu.com site, slow for me, more load for ubuntu.
6. other options

Could u give me suggestions what to do?

for now :
i have stopped the upgrade process name (hardy),
anyway hopes this helps someone

tnx
