[Gllug] Trouble Upgdrading to Ubuntu 7.10

[Caroline Ford]

This bit 

deb http://ng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports restricted
universe multiverse deb-src http://ng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

Should be

deb http://ng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports restricted
universe multiverse 

deb-src http://ng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main
restricted universe multiverse

with the deb-src starting a new line.
