Snjezana,
One of the differences in the bootstrap code between UC2.0 and UC2.1 is
that rather than fetching the catalog for all authories, the UC2.1 code
now only fetches the catalog for the preferred repository during
bootstrap. This would fix this problem. More details in issue 778
<https://updatecenter2.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=778>.
