** Description changed: = Test Case = 1. install precise 2. edit /etc/update-manager/release-updates, and set 'Prompt=normal' 3. use a language like german or french 4. run sudo do-release-upgrade --frontend=DistUpgradeViewText - 5. on the "Forsetzen" (continue) prompt press "d" - 6. verify FAIL with a UnicodeEncodeError as seen below - 7. run sudo do-release-upgrade --proposed --frontend=DistUpgradeViewText - 8. repeat 4 - 9. verify not FAIL + 5. You will be asked if you want to update your system (still on Precise). Answer oui or ja, as the language may be. The process will now advance to grab the Quantal repositories + 6. on the "Forsetzen" (or "_Continuer" (continue) prompt press "d" + 7. verify FAIL with a UnicodeEncodeError as seen below + 8. Verify /etc/apt/sources.list and correct the entries to point to Precise (instead of Quantal) if needed + 9. Still editing /etc/apt.sources.list, add a 'deb' line for precise-proposed (deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-proposed restricted main multiverse universe) + 10. run 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' + 11. run sudo do-release-upgrade --proposed --frontend=DistUpgradeViewText + 12. repeat 4-6 above + 13. verify not FAIL I started sudo do-release-upgrade in 12.04.
