Comment 0 for bug 1199060

Digging around bugs reported on bugs.launchpad, i've seen a bunch of reports rised by users (mostly new comers i suppose) not knowing about versions having reached EndOfLife.
 Most of these reports was against "solftware-center" : like, "got server error 500" or "i does not understand why software-center cant download even if my network works with the browser". So launchpad get flooded by invalid reports.

Users have to be aware of such a case : the different tools (installer/updater) should detect the different EOL version, and be able to display a popup message saying something like "that version is no more available, choose a newer ubuntu release"; on the other hand Apport also need to refuse such reports.

Related packages : apt, synaptic, software-center (for the gnome world; but i suppose the other DEs are also concerned)
