Public bug reported: I haven't upgraded my system for a long time from Ubuntu 11.04 and finally wanted to upgrade to the lastest version, meanwhile my current version seems EOL version as far as I read. So I tried to upgrade to the next version first.
I got the error due to internet connection eventhough my internet is working fine. I ended up in changing the term frrom "archieve.ubuntu" to "old-version-releases.ubuntu", then was able to proceed to the next step with some other problem, then also I tried again to upgrade, I was asked about unabling third party files and I could re-enable them after the upgrade, and then, I was warned that I dont have some repository files (sort of, dont remember the exact term there..) and if I click Yes, I will get upgraded to the next version and if No, will be in the same version. I clicked Yes, then while the system is working, due to heating of the battery, the system got switched off. Since then I am having this issue of held/broken/lost packages and series of errors. This is the statement I got while trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 to the next upgrade. Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.' Also getting the other error: Could not download all repository indexes The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct. Other issue is: Failed to fetch Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem. Please help me fix these issues and upgrade to the latest version. I also have question about the sourcelist, in some places I have oneric and other places natty, is that correct? # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.04 _Natty Narwhal_ - Release amd64 (20110427.1)]/ natty main restricted # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution. deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the ## distribution. deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-updates main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-updates main restricted ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team.
