I'm trying to do a do-release-upgrade on an Edgy box and when I run it I get a ton of 404 errors and it quits. I just checked
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
And edgy is gone! Dapper is still there, so I'm wondering what exactly happened...
Thanks,
Derek
Edgy was supported until 18 months after release. I guess it's time is up. Dapper is a LTS release (just as hardy), meaning it will get Long Term Support, being 3 years for the desktop and 5 for servers.
If you don't want to upgrade annually (more or less) then you'd better stick with the LTS releases.
Edgy support ended 2008-04-25
OK, is there any way for me to do an upgrade at this point? This server slipped through the cracks which is why it was still on Edgy.
Thanks,
Derek
Burn a copy of 8.04, and upgrade from it. You'll have to made sure the cd is on the sources list, but it should be.

Yeah, I'm just editing my sources.list to feisty and crossing my fingers. After that I can do a do-release-upgrade.
Thanks for the help!

Did this work? I'm stuck with edgy on one of my servers, and can't use the recommended upgrade procedureQuote:

because update-manager-core is not installed, and now I cannot install it from the edgy repository any longer.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, it worked for me. Just replace "edgy" in your /etc/apt/sources.list with "feisty", do an "aptitude update" and then "aptitude dist-upgrade". Once that's complete I restarted and then installed update-manager-core and did the normal do-release-upgrade.
