Bug Description

While trying to install upgrade from update manager. This error occurred;

"A problem occurred during the update. This is usually some sort of network problem, please check your network connection and retry.

[Failed to fetch http://edevelop.org/pkg-e/ubuntu/dists/edgy/e17/binary-i386/Packages.gz 301 Moved Permanently
Failed to fetch http://edevelop.org/pkg-e/ubuntu/dists/edgy/e17/source/Sources.gz 301 Moved Permanently]"

I am guessing this means I cannot upgrade (there are no network problems i'm aware of and it fetched everything else without a problem..)? I apologize if this isn't a bug; but I'd appreciate some help if you can.

Thanks,

JP

Thanks for your bugreport.

The 3rd party source http://edevelop.org/pkg-e/ubuntu is no longer available, you need to update your /etc/apt/sources.list to continue with the upgrade.

Cheers,
