Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Update manager starts properly, it shows the new release, and it starts the Distribution Upgrade window. Preparing to upgrade goes well, Setting new software channels runs till the end, and halts on "Calculating the changes", the bar full. I ran from a terminal. The terminal output is
extracting 'lucid.tar.gz'
authenticate 'lucid.tar.gz' against 'lucid.tar.gz.gpg'
WARNING: Failed to read mirror file
And that's all. It took about 7 minutes, before the upgrade continued. Note that there was no progress bar that showed it was waiting for anything, leading me to first think the installation hung.
It would be better if there was either a progress bar showing progress, or a notice that it might take a while.
Should have looked better, this is a dupe. Tagging as such.
