doing a sudo do-release-upgrade actually works (doesn't hang) but fails with: Could not calculate the upgrade
A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport. maybe this is what is causing the freeze? i think that this relates to some bad/old packages with weird dependencies messing things up. there's another bug relating to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/181762 hope this was useful.... _J -- "distribution upgrade" hangs during update to hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186465 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
