Bug Description

cdromupgrade asks if you want to connect to the internet to get updated package lists. The prompt specifically states that if you answer "no" then the network won't be used at all. I answered "no" and the updater tried to download new package lists. If I'm not connected to the network, then that is a fatal error in the upgrade.

I'm attempting to upgrade by mounting the alternate CD, and running ./cdromupgrade

This affects me too on upgradeing xubuntu 11.10 to 12.4. I'm running the 64 bit version.
