@Tommy do-release-upgrade downloads an upgrade file which does some things that can't be done in the actual packages (install upgrade prerequisites, purging packages, fixing proprietary xorg drivers etc.) You can see the DistUpgrade.cfg script for Precise at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/dist-upgrader- all/current/precise.tar.gz
If you want to complete the upgrade with do-release-upgrade rather than dist-upgrade, just make sure apt is upgraded first: sed 's/oneiric/precise/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install apt python-apt sed 's/precise/oneiric/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list do-release-upgrade -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/924079 Title: do-release-upgrade fails to upgrade from Oneiric to Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/924079/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
