Hi there guys. I have an issue which is preventing my upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10:
Initially, I upgraded to 10.04 no problem. However, I wasn't sure why the upgrade-manager didn't show me that 10.10 was available to upgrade.
Not realizing that its not a LTS release and the upgrade-manager was configured to show only LTS releases I did something stupid: I replaced all instances of
lucid in my
/etc/apt/sources.list with
maverick and ran
apt-get update.
Now I have a very serious problem:
It still didn't show me that the new Ubuntu is available and I cannot
apt-get dist-upgrade.
Almost all the packages installed in my system show up under
installed (manual) and
installed (local or obsolete).
I have now configured upgrade-installer to show
ALL releases, yet I still cannot upgrade to 10.10 due an error stating:
I have reverted all mentions of
maverick back to
lucid, and ran
apt-get dist-upgrade. Still can't upgrade.
apt-get installing one of these packages does not download it from the repository, so I am concerned about doing the entire 3GB of packages.
Now after removing a non-important package, clearing the cache, and redownloading it, it still shows in
installed (manual)I get this error from synaptic when trying to rebuild the index:
Okay I am stumped. What information can I provide to you guys which will help? I am assuming that a fresh sources.list, and fresh repository keys appropriate for a 10.04 ubuntu, along with some way to trick all installed packages that they came from the repository would be in order?
Update: I have used an online program (
http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/generate.php) to generate a new sources.list. I am still suffering the same horrible error message from the update-manager. Help!
My latest step will be to download an ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 and add it a repository source, and see if I can upgrade from the ISO
