Binary package hint: update-manager
When upgrading from gutsy to intrepid, update-manager ignores the local sources.list and downloads everything needed from archive.ubuntu.org. This is problematic for multiple reasons.
1. Some users may have a local or regional mirror that provides faster downloads than archive. Ignoring sources.list prevents them from using those local mirrors, possibly causing substantial bandwidth costs.
2. During the initial release window for intrepid thousands of Ubuntu users are going to upgrade. Will archive be able to handle the demand?
3. When upgrading multiple machines in a laboratory or corporate environment, each machine will download all the packages they need from archive, rather than allowing a single download via the use of apt-proxy or other related proxy systems.
Please re-consider this policy decision. |

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please provide some information about what source was overwritten in your 'sources.list' file? (Ideally, the whole soruces.list file that you were using would be best.) This doesn't normally happen. Thanks in advance. |

Changing to Invalid, as it works properly with US mirrors. |

This is also an issue for non-networked machines that points only to an internal mirror. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

WORKAROUND:
It is possible to disable this check - in DistUpgradeController we see:
# skip mirror check if special environment is set
# (useful for server admins with internal repos)
if (self.config.getWithDefault("Sources","AllowThirdParty",False) or
"RELEASE_UPRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY" in os.environ):
logging.warning("mirror check skipped, *overriden* via config")
mirror_check=False |
