Trying To Correct Foibled 'Ubuntu 12.04 LTS' CL Release Upgrade
Greetings,
I've been modifying a 'Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS' system for a while now. Always interested in the insight gained over the years when executing an *ux 'upgrade', I managed to to wander off into cross distibution conflicting territory. Not having gained total oversight of a manual release upgrade via 'apt', I've managed to partially upgrade the system to a workable 'Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal)' runtime. The partially upgraded system was accomplished by adding lines which include 'quantal' referrences to '/etc/apt/sources.list', (the final 2 lines) and executing 'sudo apt-get update', etc.
After a bit more investigation, I sense that it may be possible to actually correct this 'faux pas' via the execution of a 'Release Downgrade'. That is, change any 'quantal' referrences to 'precise' in '/etc/apt/sources.list', and then: $ sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
in order to make everything 'precise' only again. Would it make sense to work with the existing '/etc/apt/sources.list', or do a similar operation with the referrence 'sources.list' presented at 'http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1997718' ?
Cheers,
odoncaoa
