I decided to upgrade my ubuntu installation from 8.10 to 9.04 but since I ran short of time I had to shut down the computer while it was updating the system. Update Manager said that it would be ready in approximately 1 hour when I interrupted it. When I rebooted I did dpkg --configure -a and while it had crunched away for a while it started to ask questions and because I had to leave it for a while I terminated the process and launced it again with the -y option. The process finished in few minutes and installed a few packages. Because it took so little time I was conviced that my system wasn't properly upgraded so I did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade which told me the system was up-to-date. Finally I did apt-get dist-upgrade with the same result.
I cannot believe that the system can upgrade itself in just a few minutes when it said it would take an hour to complete when I first interrupted it. sources.list says I'm using jaunty repos, but how can I know that every package is really updated or am I just running a hybrid Interpid/Jaunty installation?
