Hi all.
I am trying to update an old laptop through the update manager from Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.04.3. When I try and do this, I am getting an error that stops the update.
W:Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release Unable to find expected entry main /binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
, W:Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/Release Unable to find expected entry main /source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
, E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
It looks to me like it is looking for us.archive.ubuntu.com when it should be looking for old-releases.ubuntu.com. Of course I could be completely off track here. Please some one help. I want to get this laptop up to date. Thanks a lot.
