+I like the idea of a previous post, that when an update repo is activated, the 
+corresponding regular repo is activated as well.
+This could be enforced by automatically activating the regular repo in such a case.
+
+Also when an update is refused, it should always give the reason, instead of 
+often (sometimes?) simply saying that it could not be updated.
