[Bug 216907] Re: update-manager does not accept debian proxies
I am trying to upgrade from Gutsy to Intrepid from a machine that normally updates via an approx server. When I start the upgrade, it alerts me that it has disabled my third-party repositories and then comments them all out in sources.list and adds one official mirror with main in it. Attached is my original sources.list when I start the upgrade. ** Attachment added: Original sources.list http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19639304/sources.list -- update-manager does not accept debian proxies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hadmut, Just a comment regarding your attempts to upgrade using a DVD. According to the instructions on this wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#head- e7f287c730b93116f89de7ea7e05efbe95fa6dd1 Using the alternate CD as a repository is supposed to work. If that is not the case then that's something we need to look into. Coud you check the wiki page and see if that agrees with what you were trying to do. I'll download the alternate CD myself and give this a try. -- update-manager does not accept debian proxies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 216907] Re: update-manager does not accept debian proxies
Well, I didn't try it that way, thanks for the hint. What I was trying to do is to have a complete ubuntu mirror (created with debmirror) and to use that for upgrading machines, either with the mirror on a USB hard disk or with the mirror burned onto three double layer DVDs using debpartial, debcopy, and apt-cdrom. Both methods result in having deb entries in the sources file that are not accepted by update-manager. But I'll give that method with the alternate CD a try... -- update-manager does not accept debian proxies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 216907] Re: update-manager does not accept debian proxies
Thanks for your bugreport. The use-case with non-networked machines is something we do not document that well currently. Here is what you can do: 1. Ensure that the sources.list of the machines point only to the internal mirror (do not mix deb http://archive.ubuntu.com and deb http ://internal-mirror lines). The reason for this is that update-manager will not the be able to distinguish between 3rd party sources and inofficial mirrors. 2. Use the alternative CD (or DVD) to initiate the upgrade. sudo sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade should be fine. It then will tell you that it can not find a offical mirror in your sources.list and should offer you to simply rewrite all gutsy to hardy entries. Say yes here and it should work. You can use the same mechanism for dapper-hardy upgrades.

Thanks for your bugreport. Can you please attach your /etc/apt/sources.list file to the bugreport (and maybe /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* if those exists)? The problem might be a forgotten deb http://; uri that points to a official mirror.

[Bug 216907] Re: update-manager does not accept debian proxies
Ah, sorry, I am away from home until end of week (business trip) and didn't take that particular machine with me. But If I remember correctly that machine had the same apt entries as the notebook I am just working with, which are deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe multiverse deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted universe multiverse and similar deb-src entries. update-manager complained about third party entries and disabled them all by prepending a # character and adding it's own entry. BTW, I have a much more serious problem with that: I am taking care of some more ubuntu machines in a protected network completely without any internet access. I was installing them with ubuntu mirrors on DVD or usb harddisk. But if update-manager insists on using it's own, network based upgrade repository, I don't see how these machines could be upgraded (except by manually changing the deb entries from gutsy to hardy and doing an apt-get dist-upgrade). update-manager should test and verify every existing deb entry (including DVDs and file:/// entries) whether it could be used as a repository for the intended upgrade. regards Hadmut -- update-manager does not accept debian proxies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 216907] Re: update-manager does not accept debian proxies
Just another comment: The proxy was not active on that particular machine at the moment of upgrade. Usually I have entries of the form deb http://debian:/ubuntu gutsy ... where debian is an alias for the machine running the approx proxy. regards Hadmut -- update-manager does not accept debian proxies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
