Upgrade intrepid -> jaunty apt-get issues Could not resolve '@localhost'

[bruce.labitt at autoliv.com]

Thanks for the idea.  I tried sudo grep -r "localhost" /etc/ , sudo grep 
-r "@localhost" /etc/ and sudo grep -r "@@localhost" /etc/.  I didn't find 
anything of use.  Any other directories I should search?

Still no way to upgrade and/or fix this apt-get problem :(

Glad I've been able to entertain the list...  But...

Bruce
