Brolin,

Follow the instructions on the page I mentioned in the bug report: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades

Run `sudo do-release-upgrade' once, you will need to download some files from the old repo, and then you will encounter 404 errors.

Then you need to make sure you get a sources.list with only feisty repo's in it:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-security main restricted

Now you should continue the upgrade process via `/tmp/tmpxxxx/feisty --frontend DistUpgradeViewText --mode=server'.
This will update your 6.10 to 7.04

tmpxxxx is different for every do-release-upgrade run, you could run `find /tmp -name feisty' to find out where the file is located.

It is a bit more work, but it will upgrade your box without problems.

Good luck!
