Public bug reported:
Related to bug 35364, but maybe not entirely the same. I just installed
Gutsy on a MacBook which didn't have internet access at the time. Since
it could not verify any of the repositories, it commented them all out,
even though I'd hook it up to the internet after installation. The
result is that updates or installations are impossible, as there are no
repositories to grab them from.
I guess you could call this a request to change behavior rather than a
bug. The rationale is that a typical user would not know why his updates
keep failing, as he doesn't realize he can simply uncomment the
repositories. It would be better to just keep the repositories active
even if the installer can't seem to find them (or, at least in case the
user seems to be on a loopback network).
