Security update problem

[gatos]

Hi
I am a fairly newbie so please mind my daft question. :)
I am using Ubuntu Hardy and have just realized that the Important security updates (hardy security) box in Software sources is unticked. I tried ticking it, but no luck. I tried unticking and ticking the rest and they are fine. I googled this problem but no luck. Here is a screenshot of what I mean.


Any help is welcome

It looks like a bug. Here is a launchpad report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/245721) on it.

you can manually add them to your sources.list if you want to do that.

Thanks for both your answers. I checked in Launchpad but I could not find this particular bug. Thanks anyway.

you can manually add them to your sources.list if you want to do that.

I did sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and this is what is included:
## a “general” sources.list for Hardy Heron; all sources are uncommented.

I searched around and found the following:

deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed restricted main multiverse universe
deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports restricted main multiverse universe

Do I need to add all of them or do I excluded the last two ones?
Thanks for the help guys
