Bug Description
We're running several Ubuntu workstations and servers (plus a few Debian ones as well) and have setup a central apt-proxy to speed up updates. This works just fine for day-to-day usage and saves quite a lot of bandwidth and time.
Unfortunately update-manager doesn't allow a distribution upgrade via the apt-proxy, as it detects it as a unofficial repostitory and thus disables it. This way, also universe/multiverse will be disabled, because it only adds main back in.
So if we were to update using "update-manager -d", we'd
- have to download 700MB+ each time, even though we've got it in our apt-proxy alread
- loose all non-main software in the process (eclipse + sun-java for example).
The alternative is to update using synaptic/
