sources.list missing hardy-updates for universe

[Gerv]

Binary package hint: synaptic

Bug 255738 has the details. Basically, the sources.list of several people running Hardy seems to be missing hardy-updates for Universe, even though Synaptic implies that they are enabled. This eventually causes problems with package version mismatches, the symptom of which is an inability to install OpenJDK.

Now it's definitely a synaptic bug that it doesn't fix this problem when you run it, but it could be that the original cause is elsewhere (the upgrade process from gutsy?). So I'm starting by filing the bug against synaptic but you may have to move it.

See the below comment mostly copied from bug 255738:

"I'm missing hardy-updates in universe in my sources.list. I've never manually removed this as far as I remember. Could it be that the upgrade process doesn't set up sources.list correctly?

The worrying thing is, if I fire up Synaptic and look at the "Repository" configuration, I have the following boxes marked as checked:

Ubuntu Software tab:
  main, universe, multiverse, source code

Updates tab:
  hardy-security hardy-updates

And yet my sources.list doesn't have hardy-updates enabled for universe. So there's something wrong with Synaptic's checking and mapping to those checkboxes too - it should flag up this problem."

My broken sources.list is attached to the other bug.
