I'm not an expert user, so there's probably a simple solution for this. Nonetheless, I'm still having (or I appear to be having) the exact problem described here. I'm trying to upgrade from lucid to precise using the alternate CD (and no network access), but the upgrade keeps failing, saying it "could not calculate the upgrade".
The precise alternate CD I'm using is one I just downloaded within the last few days (it's currently 20-Jan-2013) directly from the Ubuntu site. I would expect it to have all the fixes in precise described above, since they appear to have been released months ago, yet the upgrade still fails. For what it's worth, I have enabled all of the standard lucid repositories (lucid, lucid-updates, lucid-backports) except for lucid- proposed, run apt-get update numerous times, and it doesn't help a bit. I will be happy to provide any information I can retrieve for you, or open a separate bug report if necessary (and if I can figure out how), but please do not assume any expertise on my part - I can navigate OK and have no fear of the command line but I have only been using Linux (Ubuntu) regularly for a little over a year. If there are specific log files you need info from, you may need to tell me where they are - I haven't dug that deeply into the inner workings of Linux (yet). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to launchpad-integration in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029531 Title: cdromupgrade from Lucid to Precise failed with unmet dependencies without network connection Status in “launchpad-integration” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nspr” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “launchpad-integration” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “nspr” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” source package in Precise: Invalid Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “update-notifier” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: RATIONALE Unable to upgrade from lucid to precise using only the alternate media as a package source. TEST CASE 1. Install Lucid and updates 2. Disconnect the network cable 3. Insert Precise Alternate CD 4. Start cdromupgrade from the root directory of the media On top of these tests, a standard oneiric -> precise and lucid -> precise (with network) upgrade run should be performed to ensure no extra regression in the way the upgrade is resolved. REGRESSION POTENTIAL It's not impossible that these fixes further confuse apt in some upgrade scenario, the planned testing should be able to find any obvious case of that. ACTUAL RESULT Upgrader fails to calculate the upgrade.
