2008-01-18 11:56:23 Michael Vogt description Binary package hint: update-manager The machine in question is an ia64 host which lists only a local mirror in sources.list, and that mirror only has -security and -updates (in addition to the base release), no -backports. The machine _does_ have access to the public network, and is therefore able to access public mirror sites as well. do-release-update eventually generates /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.list with the following: # sources.list fragment for pre-requists (one with countrymirror, one fallback) deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-backports main/debian-installer #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-backports main/debian-installer # below is just for testing #deb http://archive.dogfood.launchpad.net/ubuntu feisty-backports main/debian-installer However, the correct entry for this machine (being ia64) would be: deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports feisty-backports main/debian-installer thanks, lamont Binary package hint: update-manager The machine in question is an ia64 host which lists only a local mirror in sources.list, and that mirror only has -security and -updates (in addition to the base release), no -backports.

The error for the stock update-manager is that its fails to get the prerequists (the problem with the real hardare). With the fix (the version from -proposed) the update will continue to the point that it displays what packages are obsolete now but it will stop with "can not calculate the upgrade". That is ok, it can not do that because it can not deal with the already installed i386 packages that would need to be replaced with ia64 versions.
