    Feisty upgrade gets stuck: no more compiz on beerorkid

    Hi all,

    I just tried to upgrade from kubuntu edgy to feisty, but something went wrong. Basically, I ran adept-manager, then used "fetch updates" which launches the distribution upgrade app. After downloading a bunch of packages, the updater launches an error window containing the following:
    Code:
    Error during update
    A problem occured during the update. This is ususally some
    sort of network problem, please check your network
    connection and retry.

    And indeed, if I check http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz/dists/edgy/Release.gpg I arrive onto a 404 page
    pointing users to opencomposting.org for downloading compiz. Which would be neat if I were installing it manually, but the updater makes its own selection of packages.

    So, do any of you guys know how to do the upgrade? Do I have to find a different upgrade program? Any help?
    I.

    How about editing /etc/apt/sources.list and replacing beerokid with opencomposting?
