Bug Description
I can't upgrade for some reason. I am running Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 and want to upgrade to Hardy (8.04) AMD64. I get the orange icon notifying me of "484 updates available". When I click on it and open update manager there is no upgrade to 8.04 section. If I click the "check" icon only then does that appear after it runs the check. However when I click on upgrade it says I must fix broken packages first. If I try a partial upgrade it does not work. I initially tried to upgrade from the "alternate" CD which I got off the UCT LEG server in South Africa. But when I try run it it opens up a terminal says something and closes the terminal before I can even read what is in the terminal.
Not sure what is going on. Hope this helps.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Can you add the files from /var/log/ dist-upgrade/ ? Thanks in advance.
