An example will help. What we want to do is manually download the "dist- upgrade" scripts from the archives without adept. We are then going to patch this script, and run it locally. Adept does the exact same thing, except it stores the "dist-upgrade" scripts in a temporary folder that is removed once the scripts exit. We need the scripts to stick around.
(I also just realized I misspelled the patch name. Oh well.) Example: ~$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/dist-upgrader-all/0.81/gutsy.tar.gz ~$ mkdir gutsy ~$ cd gutsy ~/gutsy$ tar xzvf ../gutsy.tar.gz ~/gutsy$ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10123821/gusty-dist-upgrade.patch ~/gutsy$ patch -p1 < gusty-dist-upgrade.patch ~/gutsy$ sudo ./dist-upgrade.py -- Distribution Upgrade fails to complete -- Cannot allocate memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154493 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
