Hello,
I tried to use the alternate-i386 disc for Intrepid to install over my previous installation of Feisty, which ran fine apart from a refusal to update any packages giving the following error message:
E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6
I had searched for a fix to this problem and performed the steps suggested (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653177) to no avail, so I opted for a more radical method and used the alternate installation disc for 8.10 to completely overwrite my system with a fresh installation as suggested in UpgradeNotes (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes).
Having backed up all my data, I reformatted my sole ext3 partition (about 27GB in size) and used it as my root directory.
File system creation, DHCP and other hardware recognition proceeded without any snags, until it came to the "Select and install software" step, which has been stuck on 29% proclaiming that it is "Preparing openoffice.org-core" for well over an hour now.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
