package manager

[Michael Havens]

Good plan. Unfortunately 'medibuntu' is not to be found
in /etc/apt/sources.list.d . Further, when looked in /var/lib/apt/lists/
some of the medibuntus I had deleted were back.

bmike1 at PresarioLapTop1:~$ ls  /var/lib/apt/lists/ |grep medibuntu
packages.medibuntu.org_dists_quantal_free_i18n_Translation-en
packages.medibuntu.org_dists_quantal_non-free_i18n_Translation-en
bmike1 at PresarioLapTop1:~$ cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
