Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

Hi,

I'm using Kubuntu 7.10 (fr; fully up to date) and I try to upgrade to
Kubuntu 8.04 (fr) with the Adept Updater (adept-updater 2.1.3ubuntu17.1)
-> Distribution Upgrade.

During the process to update repositories list, when some repositories
are not fetched, the Distribution Upgrade ends at this point, without
answering any user-friendly report and what to do in that case. In the
same time, the timeout seems to be very very long to get the error
report (I had to wait nearly 10 minutes to get no answers from only 10
missing repositories!).

Should I have to manually comment these repositories in my sources.list?
Should I have to wait for all repositories to be updated? I'm not a
developper, just an end-user, what should I have to do?

Just for information, here is the error report that I get at the time of my bug 
report (fr):
"

Would it be possible to enhance error reporting for the Distribution
Upgrade process?

Regards,
Johan
