Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
When I tried upgrading Kubuntu from 7.10 to 8.04 in Australia, it disables my local ISP's K/Ubuntu archives and uses the national archive for Australia. It then reports this: ------------ Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release.gpg Connection failed Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/i18n/Translation-en_AU.bz2 Connection failed Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/restricted/i18n/Translation-en_AU.bz2 Could not connect to au.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (211.29.132.173), connection timed out Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/universe/i18n/Translation-en_AU.bz2 Could not connect to au.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (211.29.132.173), connection timed out Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/multiverse/i18n/Translation-en_AU.bz2 Could not connect to au.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (211.29.132.173), connection timed out Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/Release.gpg Could not connect to au.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (211.29.132.173), connection timed out Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en_AU.bz2 Connection failed ------------ I think the Australian archive was being hammered and could not respond fast enough. I have an ISP, iiNeT, in Australia, who have updated their archive. It has Hardy, is fast, and free (not counted in my download quota). The update manager had commented out those iiNeT entries. Instead, if it had changed the "gutsy" to "hardy" and tried my local ISP's archives, it would not have failed and I would be reporting success rather than failure. I suggest testing the local archives to see if they are up-to-date and then to proceed with them, if they are available. I am happy to work with you to help achieve this if you are willing to put the effort into it. Many thanks. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Please allow upgrade from local ISP archives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222496 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
