I mean, "lsb_release -a" give 8.04 Hardy as my versions but several important packages,could not be updated during the upgrade process.
It got to the point it said the upgrade could not be completed.

For more infos please see my bug reports:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit/+bug/224415
and specially:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/224421

In the second bug report, you'll notice I ask a question which is not very apropriat for bug reporting. The bug reports themselves are pertinent, I believe, but that bid for help ("What do I do now?") is not. That is a question fit for the forum

And that is why I ask that question here: What now?

Thanks,
jdackle

Can anyone help?

I'm probably not even being notified of new updates as update-manager itself did not complete its installation...

Should I try and reinstall update-manager?
Should I try and reinstall ALL concerned packages (see my second bugreport for list)?

TIA,

I'd suggest you do a fresh hardy install.

You're probably right, njparton.

Well, I'll go for broke then and try and reinstall the concerned packages. If that solves nothing, I will do a fresh install.

Thanks :)
