[Bug 822910] [NEW] 6.06 upgrade fails due to bad repo?

[Robb Breckenridge]

Public bug reported:

Trying to upgrade a server from 6.06 to 8.04.
I think it's failing because it can't find http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-backports main/debian-installer

That missing repo seems to automatically get added to
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.dapper.list

I have do not have any backports enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list. I've
tried commenting out the line in prerequists-sources.dapper.list and
making the file read-only, but it still gets added when I try to
upgrade.

Is this something you're able to update on the copy of prerequists-
sources.dapper.list that gets pushed out?

Here is a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.dapper.list   -- Happy to provide more info if it's useful.......
