I fell into this bug doing a test upgrade in a virtual machine before upgrading a working server. Created the VM from the original distribution disk and then ran 'do-release-upgrade'. The upgrade failed do a dependency problem - almost certainly because I had omitted to upgrade lucid to the current version. Running 'apt-get dist-upgrade' failed due to the 'pythin-minimal' problem. The fix at the top of the thread worked for me.
The problem seems due (at least in my case) to running do-release- upgrade on an out-of-date system. Maybe the script should "offer" to upgrade the current system first before performing the 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/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
