I seem to be stuck in a limbo. I am trying to update my system from
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.04"
Admittedly, I havent kept this system up to date for a while. A couple of days ago, I started the update-manager and it did prompt me to upgrade to 10.04 LTS. I postponed it to take a backup.
Today I try the same and the CLI command doesnt even offer the upgrade any more.
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
So I fire up the update-manager, it does show me the upgrade but fails with the message
An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool
I get the same message for sudo do-release-upgrade as well.
So how can I upgrade?
