[SOLVED] Feisty to Gutsy - Upgrade instructions don't work

[kpenrose]

I'm trying to follow the directions to upgrade my feisty to gutsy, I open Adept, make sure everything is up-to-date, select Recommended Updates in the repository manager (which was always selected, btw), restarted adept, and there is no version upgrade button.

Anyone have any ideas?

I also changed the servers, checked and unchecked different repos, etc. No luck. Only thing I noticed is that switching to the main servers slowed things down, so lots of people must be downloading like crazy!

I have the same problem. They might be opening up different servers at different times.

FOUND A SOLUTION:

After running adept and making sure you have selected the right options per the instructions, and done any outstanding updates, close adept and then in a console run:
kdesu "adept_manager --version-upgrade"

(quotes required) and this will present the adept manager with the version upgrade button. I had to do this twice, because the first download complained about a gpg signature that wasn't any good. Second time, it's running like a charm.

Thanks.

I tried replacing all of the 'feisty' entries to 'gutsy' in /etc/apt/sources.list, and then sudo apt-get update, but the download got stuck at some point.

Downloads are definitely real SLOW right now. Very busy servers, I imagine.
