adept crashes at 'fetch updates' after updating repositories with 'pre-released

[nonsequitur]

Hello people, I am trying to update from Feisty to Gutsy and am following the instructions to do it without a reinstall, following these instructions:

http://www.kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kubuntu-upgrade.

however,

Adept crashes when i try to fetch updates, so i can't even get to the 'distribution upgrade' bit.

here is the output kde crash handler gives me when it crashes.

Any suggestions?

Re: adept crashes at 'fetch updates' after updating repositories with 'pre-relea

The debug output doesn't mean anything to me -- I see nothing helpful there.

Have you previously used Adept Manager successfully, or is this the first time you used "Fetch"?

If you want to post your /etc/apt/sources.list file, maybe there is a problem with the sources.

If you want to make sure your package manager is working correctly, you can issue the following series of commands from a Konsole window:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install

Re: adept crashes at 'fetch updates' after updating repositories with 'pre-released

If dibl's suggestions don't fix your problem, then based on your subject line, I'd like to see what your /etc/apt/sources.list looks like. We will be able to tell if any entry isn't correct.

I had a similar problem. This worked great thanks!

It worked for me too!

You have to let it 'fail' first - THEN run the 'fix'.

Well done that man.....

Re: adept crashes at 'fetch updates' after updating repositories with 'pre-relea

Hi, i had exactly the same problem. adept was doing this when i did my first update after installing kubuntu, though i followed these steps and now it seems to be sorted. i was just wondering how it happened in the first place?, as i don't remember doing anything wrong in the installation process etc?

Must be a bug, since it seems to be happening alot.
