    Upgrade issues

    Today I decided to upgrade to Gutsy Gibbon. Big misstake. I get the following error:

    Well, first question is: Upgrading from what version? You can only upgrade to Gutsy from Feisty.

        Re: Upgrade issues

        Follow these upgrade instructions exactly:
        Upgrading from 7.04 (Feisty)
        Pay attention to Step 4, substeps 3 and 4.

          I tried but things seems to have gotten even more ****ed up. Now I can only press Fetch Updates (gives me a lot of Gutsy packages) and the Full Upgrade button is disabled.

            Re: Upgrade issues

            Is your system functioning normally other than for Adept? Assuming that it is, which one would expect - the upgrade didn't even begin - you are still running a Feisty installation. If I were in your shoes, this is what I would do. BUT, THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DO. IF YOU AREN'T COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DESCRIBE, THEN DON'T DO IT.

            The following from a console:
            Check the /etc/apt directory for a backup copy of your sources.list
            Code:
            ls -l /etc/apt/sources.*
            If one exists, I'd look at it to ensure that it references Feisty and not Gutsy.
            Code:
            cat /etc/apt/sources.extensioname
            If it does, I'd rename the sources.list file to sources.list_BAD and copy the backup file to sources.list
            Code:
            sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_BAD
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.extensionname /etc/apt/sources.list
            I would then clean out the package cache - get rid off all downloaded packages.
            Code:
            sudo apt-get clean
            I would then force an update to the cache.
            Code:
            sudo apt-get update
            I would then perform a normal shutdown/restart of my system. Once rebooted and back on the desktop, I'd open Adept Manager and click on Fetch Updates and install the identified packages.

            That said and done, and assuming nothing goes wrong, I'd again perform a normal shutdown/restart. Again, once back on the desktop, THEN I would follow the Feisty to Gutsy upgrade instructions TO THE LETTER.

              OK, so I tried what you "suggested" but the Adept Manager don't show me any "Version Upgrade" button.

              But thank you for taking your time.
