Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Hi everybody,
Today, I tried to upgrade my system from Feisty to Gutsy (Ubuntu => Gnome) using what is told here https:/
"The system was unable to get the pre-requists for the upgrade. The upgrade will abort now and restore the original system state.
Please report this as a bug against [...]"
Here are the logs I was told to include.

I have found a workaround. But I need to explain some things :
I'm french, and as there are some annoying things with the UTF-8 locales, I changed it to fr_FR@euro ISO-8859-15. Then, I had set the language (in gnome's loggin screen) to "Français euro" (means "French euro").
That's why apt failed to fetch http://<email address hidden> /ubuntu/ dists/feisty- backports/ main/debian- installer/ i18n/Translatio n-fr.bz2.
So I changed the language to "Français" (instead of "Français euro"), and miracle (!) everything wanted very well (apt then created deb http:// archive. ubuntu. com/ubuntu feisty-backports main/debian- installer instead of the adress above).
I hope this helps resolve the bug.
After I changed that, the upgrade succeeded without any problem.
