This is the updated version of /etc/apt/sources.list at the end of step 4. ** Attachment added: "Updated sources.list" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44987382/updated-sources.list
** Description changed: It is best to keep the security.ubuntu.com lines at the end of your /etc/apt/sources.list when you use a mirror to make sure you get timely security updates even if your mirror breaks. [1] [1] http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2008/08/20/ubuntu-security- repository-structure/ However, when the user selects a mirror from the list provided by the Software Sources tool, the tool will replace all security.ubuntu.com entries with references to the same mirror. I expected it to keep the security.ubuntu.com lines, either as the only source of security updates (by leaving them intact) or as a secondary source that comes after the selected mirror. For instance, a line such as - deb http://mirror.example.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted + deb http://mirror.example.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted would be followed by a line like - deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted + deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted I'm testing with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Beta 2 booted from the live DVD. Steps to reproduce: 1. Back up your /etc/apt/sources.list. 2. Open System → Administration → Software Sources. 3. On the Ubuntu Software tab (opened by default) select "Other..." from the "Download from" drop-down list. A "Choose a Download Server" window will open. 4. Select Russian Federation → mirror.yandex.ru and click Choose Server. - 4. Compare your updated /etc/apt/sources.list to the backup. + 5. Compare your updated /etc/apt/sources.list to the backup.
