breezy-backports doesn't exist yet

[Jeremy LaCroix]

I know you guys don't support Backports, but it is in the Sources.list file when
you install the final Ubuntu, although commented out, it doesn't work. I don't
need it but its wierd to have a dead repository on a final version of an OS.

[Daniel Robitaille (robitaille)]

The rational for adding them in the source.list file is explained in bug #21290

[Matthew East (mdke)]

This is causing major problems: users are uncommenting the backports
repositories and getting errors because the repo is not created yet. Bumping
this up to major because it affects a large number of people. The solution (IMO)
is to create the archive but not add anything to it until dapper opens. Please
advise the Documentation team on what solution is going to be adopted for
dapper, so that we can ensure a note is present in the documentation (which
currently simply explains how to activate breezy-backports).

No it doesn't, myself and people in the forum can't get it to work.

yes it does. See http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-backports/

If it is not working, that is a separate problem. Please change the bug
description or file a new bug.

I won't close this for now, but you can do so if you file a separate bug.

[Jeremy LaCroix (jlacroix82-deactivatedaccount)]

I filed a new bug.

Closing again
