That makes me wonder if this a temporary situation, or if I must do something about my repository sources:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
11.10

  1. Best Answer

    The repository sources were wrong. Correction:

    $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports oneiric-updates main restricted universe multiverse

    I was fooled into thinking that old-releases would work, since it did when upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04:

    $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main restricted universe multiverse
