Re: how to upgrade from edgy to feisty?

I think you need to change your sources.list file so that it corresponds to feisty repositories. At least, that'd be a good place to start. You could give this a go

Re: how to upgrade from edgy to feisty?

There's no official way to do this for Kubuntu?
When I did an update from Adept earlier, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the next version of Kubuntu. It seemed to pull some stuff off of the internet and put it in /tmp, then told me it would run the updater utility, but at that point it seemed to die.
Any suggestions?

Re: how to upgrade from edgy to feisty?

Run the adept_updater again. It should offer you the same choice again.

If something went wrong and everything is messed, do as molloollom told you. Get a nice feisty source.list and then do

Code:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a

Until no error is left. Then reboot.

BTW, making a copy of your home dir can be very handful, just in case.

Javier.

Why no module named apt? I have python-apt installed...
I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone may have.

Re: how to upgrade from edgy to feisty?

Try to reinstall it.

There should be an apt dir in both /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages and /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages.

Also check that the default version of pyhton in your system is at least 2.4:

Code:

$ python --version

Re: how to upgrade from edgy to feisty?

Thanks for the reply. I think we've isolated the problem, and now the only thing that remains is to determine how to fix it.
In /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ contains a directory called apt/ but /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ does not. I think I compiled python2.5 from source, rather than getting it through apt. Things seem to be a bit screwy for that reason... For example, /usr/local/bin/ contains python2.5 stuff, and a python executable which I believe points to python2.5; however, /usr/bin/ contains python2.4 stuff (obtained through apt), and a linked file which points directly to the python2.4 executable in /usr/bin/. Because /usr/local/bin/ comes first in my PATH, I think it finds the python2.5 executable first.

I think the best bet might be to simply uninstall python2.5. But the python source package does not seem to have an option for "make uninstall". I guess I could just remove the python executable in /usr/local/bin/, but that seems like a fairly ugly solution...

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can remove python2.5?
Let me know. Thanks.

Jake

Re: how to upgrade from edgy to feisty?

Have you tried to make /usr/bin/python a simlink to /usr/bin/python2.4?

Re: how to upgrade from edgy to feisty?

In the future when installing something essential like that from source, try using checkinstall to create a deb package. Then you can install and remove the package using dpkg or apt-get. Their page has a good writeup about it.

Not that it helps you much right now.

Good luck fixing it though, hope it works out for you!
