Ah that explains it. Since upgrading to Intrepid a few days ago, the last updated time shown by update manager has been nonsensical. This morning it said I last updated 4 days ago and right now it says the last update was 6 days ago. I have updated and rebooted several times over the last few days to no avail.

One repository with issues for me is VirtualBox - the PUEL version with repositories as detailed at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads They don't have intrepid yet but I have left that in in my sources.list.d so it will automatically be picked up.

The ddebs for intrepid-{updates,proposed,security} also give errors. It would be nice if instead those repos existed with zero length lists of packages.

In any event update manager shouldn't use the last update time of repositories that are 404 not found as the time of the last update to display!
