Thanks, yes I found:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pitti-postgresql-lucid.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pitti-postgresql-lucid.list.distUpgrade

I had forgoten that these were installed. One more thing that triped me up
is that I am acustomed to the update amnager commenting out 3rd part
repostories. Noot certain whay it did not do that this time.

Thanks for the rapid help!
