So the new line was added to the 'sources.list' but 'apt-get update'  
was not run on this new machine. Why not?

I tried to do it myself within the running VM but after all packages  
are downloaded (took about 20 minutes)  dpkg bails with this error:

'dpkg: error processing gnome-power-manager (--remove):
  failed to delete `/etc.dpkg-tmp': read-only file system

Do you know why this is happening?
