How to fix this: "Install the new "update-manager-core" package"

[Guest]

I installed Kubuntu 6.06 LTS and I am playing around to upgrade to 8.04/8.10.

the "upgrade guide" (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades) is hard to understand and i will start with this question here:

How to install new "update-manager-core" package" in 6.06?

Thank you guys.

1) It is telling you the answer. Install the new "update-manager-core." If you look at "How to install ANYTHING in Ubuntu!" on http://amitech.50webs.com/installing/index.php.html you will see that there are several ways to install the package e.g.

sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

or

sudo aptitude install update-manager-core

or through Synaptic

2) Do you know that you can only upgrade from one version to the next? - from Dapper to Edgy, from Edgy to Feisty, from Feisty to Gutsy etc - and not from Dapper to Intrepid? ---You might be better to do a new install of the latest. There are so many things that can go wrong with upgrades.

I guess update-manager-core is not installed on this laptop.


I agree getting the latest version is the best method for a freshman. I would try upgrading first :P

do you have any ideas on the output?

again, thank you.

Are you connected to the internet when you try to download and install this package from repository?
