Stefano -- The lucid desktops I look after were run just as my comment above had specified, opened a terminal, sudo -s, run do-release-upgrade, wait for breakage, i'd also tried "do-release-upgrade -m desktop" to little success.
The lucid servers I look after are also affected -- none of which have "update-manager" by default (obviously) but installing it and running "do-release-upgrade" on it's own does indeed fail, but running the workaround from #8 _then_ running it does indeed seem to get further. Further, the failed upgrades happen on LAMP servers as well as File Servers, both sets of which use packages only from main/restricted/universe for 10.04 -- one of the LAMP servers upgrades was out of date, going from 10.04.3 to 12.04 & died trying to upgrade php5 and php5-common too, but running: # apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f dpkg apt python- minimal Then running do-release-upgrade seemed to work there. However, loading a bunch of X/GNOME/other GUI dependancies on to dedicated servers in remote locations is not something i'd be doing lightly (at all) -- so having a non-GUI fix to the problem would probably help here. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
