Public bug reported:
I tried to upgrade from a fresh install of Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 to Hardy
Heron 8.04, but it failed during the update.
I have a feeling this is a depository problem as my other machine has
been running Gutsy for nearly a year now (personal preference, better
game support through Wine) and has recently encountered the equivelent
of 404 errors when doing apt-get updates.
I've included the /var/log/dist-upgrade files as suggested by the
update-manager.
The actual reported error is as follows:
During the 'Setting New Software Channels' procedure,, right near the
end during 'Calculating the changes' it reports:
"Can't install 'xubuntu-desktop'
It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a
bug."
Then, upon closing this dialogue box, it states:
"Could not calculate the upgrade
A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the
'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/
in the bugreport."
So, please find those files attached.
The version of update-manager i'm using is:
Installed: 1:0.81
Candidate: 1:0.81
