They aren't safely expressable in dependencies. We also want to make sure that you won't be left with an unbootable system if the upgrade breaks half way through. The solution in Debian is 50 pages of release notes that you need to read and follow to do a sucessful upgrade. In Ubuntu, it's automated. But you need to actually use the tool :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990740 Title: upgrading from lucid to precise fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/990740/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
