Dist-Upgrade aborts with the following
Anybody got any idea what this is about?
I'd suggest it's one of two things:
1) Intrepid hasn't reached your mirror yet.
2) You sources are out of date.
Have you tried running
apt-get update
as suggested? If

Have you tried running
apt-get update
I hadn't noticed that, as the first time I got the issue was on update-manager.
Have run it, now wants to download several hundred MBs so might be a
while before I can report back, lol...

Hello Team!
I would be most grateful if anyone could help me with the
following problem. It seems to concern postgresql-8.1 as
mentioned in the various error messages (further below):
A while back, I lost Ubuntu 7.10 which had occupied the whole
of one of my two 80 GB drives when it suffered

What are you using postresql for? Do you have any particular sensitive
databases on it? If so, seek help on how to backup databases before
continuing.
It looks to me like this error is somewhat historical, i.e. it was an
upgrade that failed a while ago (due the the old version number).

When I did my daily updates on Intrepid today - all went well, did the
reboot thing... and then I realised my Skype (medibuntu) had
disappeared... like, completely.
apt-get install skype, and it came back. Got no idea why, but it would
seem something broke the package and apt therefore removed

I upgraded to Intrepid several weeks back, sometime late September -
this was just a standard daily update. So now idea why it went wrong
all of a sudden.
Anyway, I did an apt-get update and then an apt-get dist-upgrade and
it's fine now, it seems.
Yes, but 8.04 is just so conservative in comparison...
I sort of understand why they do these conservative LTS releases, but
I find them stifling... and, to be honest, I've not really had any
great issues with 8.10 up to now. In fact, it's been a lot easier
than previous alphas and betas that

I am pretty confident that allowing the system to do a full upgrade will
sort out the problem.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Before that I'd recommend letting any previous package configurations
complete properly..
sudo dpkg

Those 404 errors look quite normal for packages that are being updated

lists were updated, indicating new versions of some packages were available.

Thanks for clearing that up - is there an argument that the update
process should be more clever than that, as I'd guess it'd put off
newbies... ?
There's a compelling argument that newbies should _not_ run the
development version of Ubuntu.
Cheers,

ps. why would this have happened? I've not done anything (that I know
of) to make it so...
Could it be that a whole load of packages have updated over night in
preparation for the release of Intrepid but not finished copying to all
the mirrors?

Not relating to the errors (since other people have addressed those).
are you upgrading *to* Intrepid, or just keeping an intrepid machine up
to date?
If you're upgrading to Intrepid from Hardy, please don't use

Haha - that made me laugh that link did. Windows 7 is for real, but
(hopefully!) not 20 editions! That page is a joke, of course, especially
with 'Windows 7 Pirated Edition'. Nice Photoshopping though...

I like the Mac based based high security version and the EU version
designed to not do anything :-)

Haha - didn't quite see that EU one - I only scanned it really. Very fitting
though... they always disable things on it like security and that.
