There are other problems with this install, apt sources are messed up 
and gpg-keys too.  What ever, it kept me from updating and upgrading. I 
fixed what looked wrong and can now upgrade, I'm waiting for the upgrade 
to finish, plus removing 4-5 meta-packages, discover, apper, packagekit 
and auto-upgrade. I can now update/upgrade without errors.

I do not recommend using these live dvds for install, unless you like 
fixing unnecessary problems that can otherwise be avoided.
