It's not that (I've got the daily build for 13.10 in a VM), I was just
concerned that absolutely nothing had been earmarked or appeared for
13.04 for nearly six days & that maybe my sources.list was wonky.

To be honest, I find updates are a pain but a necessary evil
nonetheless. Apart from my servers. I've got one that's been running for
300 days without applying any updates whatsoever. Good firewall I have :-)

Cheers,
