I'm having a heck of a time upgrading from 6.06 to 8.04, even with Dapper fully updated. The problem I'm having is the same as in this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=802466&highlight=apt+API) thread: when I try to run (in the Terminal):

gksu "update-manager -d"

I get the following message

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:17: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)


One solution (from this (http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-edgy-upgrade-common-problems-with-solutions.html) thread) was to run apt-get install python-vte, but I have the current version.

Without fixing this API problem I can't upgrade to 8.04. (I don't have a CD burner so doing an install from a burned CD will be a problem.)

Any suggestions? Thanks!
