[Bug 964812] Re: release upgrade failed because of missing essential package ubuntu-minimal

[Brian Murray]

ubuntu-minimal seems to exist at
http://de2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-meta/.  It might
be helpful if you were to capture the sources.list file at the point the
upgrade fails and attach it to the bug report.  Thanks for your help!
