Haha - didn't quite see that EU one - I only scanned it really. Very fitting
though... they always disable things on it like security and that.

I like the Mac based based high security version and the EU version
designed to not do anything :-)

Haha - that made me laugh that link did. Windows 7 is for real, but
(hopefully!) not 20 editions! That page is a joke, of course, especially
with 'Windows 7 Pirated Edition'. Nice Photoshopping though...

There's a compelling argument that "newbies" should _not_ run the
development version of Ubuntu.

Yes, but 8.04 is just so conservative in comparison...
I sort of understand why they do these conservative LTS releases, but
I find them stifling... and, to be honest, I've not really had any
great issues with 8.10 up to now. In fact, it's been a lot easier
than previous alphas and betas that I'v

When I did my daily updates on Intrepid today - all went well, did the
reboot thing... and then I realised my Skype (medibuntu) had
disappeared... like, completely.
"apt-get install skype", and it came back. Got no idea why, but it would
seem something "broke" the package and apt therefore remove

What are you using postresql for? Do you have any particular "sensitive"
databases on it? If so, seek help on how to backup databases before
continuing.
It looks to me like this error is somewhat historical, i.e. it was an
upgrade that failed a while ago (due the the old version number).

I upgraded to Intrepid several weeks back, sometime late September -
this was just a standard daily update. So now idea why it went wrong
all of a sudden.
Anyway, I did an apt-get update and then an apt-get dist-upgrade and
it's fine now, it seems.
Will keep an eye on that.

Could it be that a whole load of packages have updated over night in
preparation for the release of Intrepid but not finished copying to all

Not relating to the errors (since other people have addressed those).
are you upgrading *to* Intrepid, or just keeping an intrepid machine up
to date?
If you're upgrading to Intrepid from Hardy, please don't use

Hello Team!
I would be most grateful if anyone could help me with the

I hadn't noticed that, as the first time I got the issue was on update-manager.
Have run it, now wants to download several hundred MBs so might be a

I'd suggest it's one of two things:
1) Intrepid hasn't reached your mirror yet.
2) You sources are out of date.
Have you tried running
