As written earlier, I had a problem with upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 using
update-manager because of not enough free space. After that I could not
get update-manager to give me the option to upgrade to 7.10.
I have the following further information:
I found that I could get update-manager (in feisty) to show the option
to upgrade, after copying the correct meta-release file (obtained from
changelogs.ubuntu.com) under
.update-manager-core/
and
/var/lib/update-manager/
(I had to be careful that the network proxy setting was correct --
setting network proxy for direct connection instead of the correct
server ip address led to these files being replaced by html error
messages).
However, on clicking on the upgrade button, the upgrade fails, and
update-manager hangs. If I had used update-manager -c from a terminal,
the message is:
