Wouldn't running an 'apt-get install <package>' take it off the blacklist?

Hi Tim, this is a networkless cdrom upgrade. It's possible that the error was transient. I'll try it again today.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

unity-2d-places has been dropped as a dependency of unity-2d in the latest upload, and as a result is no longer on the CD. Looks like update-manager uses regular expressions for its blacklist, so the "unity-2d" package name needs to be anchored so it only matches the toplevel package... not whatever sub-packages happen to be installed before upgrade. Barry, could you take a look at this?

Confirmed with Precise Alternate 20120227.2 amd64
