This is almost definitely a problem with the update archive. Admittedly, this is my first ever distro upgrade of a Debian system. I searched for a "how-to", and followed it carefully.
http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/04/03/dapper-to-hardy-direct-server- upgrade-works/ The output from the console window is attached. The pertinent passage is: Error during update A problem occurred during the update. This is usually some sort of network problem, please check your network connection and retry. Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release Unable to find expected entry commercial/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) I suspect that there may be a switch available, to tell update-manager to ignore the commercial software. Since I do not have any commercial software installed, it would be safe to do so. I shall follow the previous advice, and wait a couple more days for the archive to update itself. ** Attachment added: "upgrade errors" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14054266/upgrade%20errors -- Distribution upgrade to Hardy Heron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224486 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
