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:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
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:
GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid-backports Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-proposed/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-proposed/main/source/Sources.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
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
