Another related question: now that I've set my sources.list right, I get some problems (I reckon these aren't critical, but...) when I do an 'apt-get upgrade' in the guest. For eg.: --- (Reading database ... 8025 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace base-files 4.0.1ubuntu5 (using .../base-files_4.0.1ubuntu5.8.04.4_amd64.deb) ...
