+1 for nano. Not because I like it, but it's installed by default.

Or you could go to Synaptic and try to get in from there. I haven't had trouble with either so it may well be that neither will work.

So they fixed it? :popcorn:

Or simply %s/maverick/natty/g in vim.

unless you want to wipe the maverick branch out in that file..:P

“if” instead of “unless”. Lest people do inadvertently search & replace all mavericks with natties.

The only excuse is a withdrawal anxiety I feel several weeks before a release is released... :)

11.4 -> 11.04 ;)

This is fixed now with this update: “python-apt” 0.7.98.1ubuntu1 source package in The Natty Narwhal It is at the moment "NEW". But of course you may download the files from launchpad and use dpkg.

If it's any comfort to you, you are not alone: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Ubuntu+10.4%22 :P

Thanks for this thread ! :)

And if you do choose this manual installation method, note that package python-apt now depends on python-apt-common too. Here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/python-apt/0.7.98.1ubuntu1
