Hmm, that is unexpected. There shouldn't be any change in the behavior in this area. If you feel like it, could you experiment a bit with apt-get update in the shell and "Refresh list of applications" in the Application Manager UI? To get a clean slate, do # rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* After that, both apt-get update and "Refresh list of applications" _should_ get you back into a useable state and should ignore non-existing distributions or components. You can review detailed messages with "Tools > Log" in the Application Manager. (Upcoming versions of the Application Manager will be more helpful with debugging catalogue configurations.)
