Upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy w. Kubuntu, KDE 3.5.9.
The upgrade with Adept & the upgrade tool fails because ubuntu.com is overloaded and the updater cannot fetch the file http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/ReleaseAnnouncement
The actual upgrade files are downloaded from a local server but this file from Ubuntu.com. So if Ubuntu.com is down/slow/something one cannot upgrade.
I think this file should be mirrored as well as all other files. |
Not possible to upgrade if ubuntu.com off-line because of release notes file.

Thanks for reporting this bug. From what I can see, it appears that the ReleaseAnnouncement is now mirrored on all of the Ubuntu mirrors.
To verify this, go to:
http://XX.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/ReleaseAnnouncement
(where XX is the two digit country code of the mirrror).
Once the page loads, you should see the Hardy release announcement. If there is a specific mirror that does not include this file, that mirror might be out of sync with the main Ubuntu mirror. However, out of the handful of mirrors that I tested, all of them contained the ReleaseAnnouncement file. As a result, I am setting the status of this bug report to 'Fix Released'. |
