    Try this:
    - Use the Ubuntu sources.list generator and choose the option for the Gutsy repos; check everything pertaining to your infrastructure, including the source repositories.
    - Press Alt+F2 and enter the command:
    Code:
    kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
    - Save the sources.list file as sources.list.bak (for a backup copy) and replace everything in it with the output of the sources.list generator; then, save it again as just sources.list
    - Open Konsole and close all other package managers (Adept, Synaptic, etc.)
    - Enter the following commands in order:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install -f
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    Code:
    sudo apt-get autoremove
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean
    and finally,
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
    - Stay close to your computer once all the packages have finished downloading to answer questions; just choose the default "y" to everything asked.

    - When you finish, reboot your system, AND YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING GUTSY!!! Yes, it's just that simple (unless you run into problems)

    -> If you have a hard time, let me know

      Thank you for posting this.

      It really helped me in my upgrading.

      But people should not choose the amerok upgrade option in the sources.list generator. It also stops the upgrading process because it is also not there :/

        No problem at all; if you need anything else, don't hesitate to search the forums or inquire of the community
