If the option to enable the Universe and Multiverse respositories is checked, the dapper-updates section of the sources.list file is commented out, silently disabling software updates from the default repositories.

Here follows the following:

* /etc/apt/sources.list after using EasyUbuntu
* /etc/apt/sources.list before using EasyUbuntu (default)
* a diff between the two files
* The relavent commented line disabling updates.
