    Unhappy Upgrade to 10.04 error - "could not determine the upgrade"

    Hi forum,

    I tried to upgrade 9.10 to 10.04 (desktop, 64 bit, xfce as 2nd environment) via the alternate CD: ubuntu-10.04-alternate-amd64.iso

    During the upgrade I was prompted with the below error.

    Options (1) and (2) are clearly no applicable.

    As for (3), I have medibuntu repositories from which I have installed various plug-ins and a few applications, such as R, youtube-dl, clive, clamscan. Could they be responsible for this message?

    In any case, my /etc/apt/sources.list is enclosed below.

    What am I doing wrong during the upgrade?

    Many thanks,

    Bernd
