Ah, sorry, I am away from home until end of week (business trip) and didn't 
take that particular
machine with me. But If I remember correctly that machine had the same apt 
entries as the
notebook I am just working with, which are

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe 
multiverse
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted universe 
multiverse
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-proposed main restricted 
universe multiverse
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted 
universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted universe 
multiverse

and similar deb-src entries.

update-manager complained about "third party" entries and disabled them all by 
prepending a 
# character and adding it's own entry. 


BTW, I have a much more serious problem with that: I am taking care of some 
more ubuntu machines
in a protected network completely without any internet access. I was installing 
them with ubuntu
mirrors on DVD or usb harddisk. But if update-manager insists on using it's 
own, network based upgrade
repository, I don't see how these machines could be upgraded (except by 
manually changing the
deb entries from gutsy to hardy and doing an apt-get dist-upgrade). 

update-manager should test and verify every existing deb entry (including DVDs 
and file:/// entries) 
whether it could be used as a repository for the intended upgrade.

regards
Hadmut
