[tresdey]

I have just finish to make a clean install of kubuntu. It is the third time. all the other installation had the same problem, when i'm going to upgrade the distro to have it updata adept show me the same error: there are a problem. I don't know how to transalte it so i put in Spanish and translate with google

"Se produjo un error al enviar los cambios. Posiblemente se produjera un
problema al descargar algunos paquetes o el envío pudo romper algunos
paquetes."

"There was a mistake in sending the changes. May occur
A
Problem downloading or sending some packages could break some
Packets. "

The fact is that when i push accept the next message is installaltion is finish. But is not true. Someone know if it a repository problem? or I can do it with terminal? please I need help!!

thank for all!

Re: Problems upgrading kubuntu 7.10

Adept seems to have a few bugs lately.

To upgrade your system from the console, do

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

If apt-get upgrade throws errors, post them here.

Also, bear in mind it may be asking (annoyingly) for the CD. To stop this, simply edit (as root) your /etc/apt/sources.list file and delete any cdrom lines.

Try the following as well:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
that solved the problem you mention for me when I had the same thing

You can only directly upgrade to Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) from Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)

Follow the images at http://www.kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kubuntu-upgrade.

1. Open the Adept Manager by going to KMenu -> System -> Adept Manager (Manage Packages)

2. In Adept, go to Adept -> Manage Repositories

3. Enable the "Recommended updates" and "Pre-released updates" repository, close and reload

4. If your system is up to date, the upgrade wizard will be offered after you click "Fetch Updates" via the "Version Upgrade" button, else..

1. Press the Full Upgrade button
2. Press the Apply Changes button
3. Once the packages are installed, exit the Adept Manager (Adept -> Quit)
4. Repeat the initial steps (1 - 3)
