Agreed. Bugs filed because dist-upgrade fails are not marked as Invalid (because not supported). They should be considered valid bugs. However the recommended way to upgrade from one release to another is via do-release-upgrade (which is the method that has been the most tested). -- Mathias Gug Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
