upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS installs Maverick instead

[HankB]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I followed directions to upgrade my 8.04 LTS server install to 10.04 LTS on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade under "Network upgrade for Ubuntu servers (Recommended)" Upon completion, the system identifies itself as Maverick. I put a bit more detail in a post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9784929#post9784929

The bug report includes information from the system post upgrade.

I'm not sure if the bug is in the upgrade package or the way the maverick betas are identified in the repos. It seems to me that the upgrade package improperly identified the Maverick repos as the next LTS candidage.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/' to this bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

So... If there's a bug and no one looks at it, it just goes away?

Fabulous.

Anyway, it's academic for me. I could not tolerate going to a beta
when I wanted to move to the next LTS so I did a clean onstall of
10.04.

thanks,
hank
