Regarding losses apt sources I have one idea - previously was one package 
trinity-keyring, which contained both GPG key and APT sources list. Now are 
two separate packages trinity-keyring and trinity-apt-archive. If your apt 
sources previously came from package trinity-keyring, after upgrade this 
package apt sources list would disappear.
