Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
I followed the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#head- f2435a45758bb5836f8e5b87e90045463f8c6ec7 to upgrade a server hosted in slicehost (I had previously upgraded the -mostly- empty server from dapper to edgy and from edgy to feisty without a hitch... but added a few packages after the feisty upgrade). As do-release-upgrade complained about no longer manteined packages, I tried to remove all of those, but one (liblzo1) was reinstalled when I reinstalled update-manager-core. Anyway, browsing the logs, the update-manager seems to be complaining about it not being able to identify my ubuntu version because none of the *buntu-desktop is installed (which is logical, since I use NO DESKTOP AT ALL, cause this is a server). ################################################# Can't guess meta-package Your system does not contain a ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop or edubuntu-desktop package and it was not possible to detect which version of Ubuntu you are running. Please install one of the packages above first using synaptic or apt-get before proceeding. Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report. ################################################# ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [feisty->gutsy] server do-release-upgrade fails because none of the *buntu-dekstop meta-package is found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156680 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
