Xenial checking much fewer apt-get sites

  • 772

Every since upgrading to 16.04, I've gone from dozens of sites in my apt-get updates to 6. I also get updates much less frequently, so I'm worried something broke. Is this normal behavior, or did I break something when moving from 15.10 to 16.04. Below is the output of my apt-get update:

    No, you're not wrong. Ubuntu is maturing. 

    <yoda>Will you, less sources, see henceforth</yoda>

    As per the Release notes of Xenial, some packages/repos were dropped.

    Updated Packages

    As with every new release, packages--applications and software of all kinds--are being updated at a rapid pace. Many of these packages came from an automatic sync from Debian's unstable branch; others have been explicitly pulled in for Ubuntu 16.04.
