Problems upgrading Ubuntu

(1/6) > >>

Aloone_Jonez:
I've been trying to upgrade from Breezy 5.1 to Dapper 6.06 using the auto-update program and it gives me the following error message:


--- Code: ---

There is no problem with my network connection, (I'm logged on an posting this with no problems). I think it's to do with the update program looking in the worng place shouldn't it be looking in http://antesis.freecontrib.org/mirrors/ubuntu/freecontrib/dists/drapper/ and not http://antesis.freecontrib.org/mirrors/ubuntu/freecontrib/dists/breezy/?

How do I fix this?

Is there another easy way to upgrade?

I don't want to reformat again, if so I'm switching to a distro whic will allow OS upgrades without having to start again, even Windows allows this to some degree.

adiment:
same thing happend to me a few months ago when Dapper first came out.

maybe try changing every instance of 'breezy' to 'dapper' within sources.lst when apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade?
[Note: this did work but screwed up X for me so I had to do a clean dapper install)

Aloone_Jonez:
Where is sources.lst?

I've done a search and I can't find it.

piratePenguin:
probably because it's called sources.list, and it's in /etc/apt

Aloone_Jonez:
That didn't work either!

This is shit!

I downloaded Mandriva CD a few days but I'm reluctant to install it as I can't be bothered. I'd rather stick with Ubuntu I've been happy with it apart from this is there anything else you can suggest before I install yet another Linux distribution?
