Comment 2 for bug 224486

OK, I attempted to do an alternate upgrade method, from a different how-to
site.

http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/04/03/dapper-to-hardy-direct-server-upgrade-works/

I ended with the same error, regarding the commercial/binary-i386/Packages

Attached, find the console output during the upgrade attempt.

It would seem that the update manager needs a switch, telling it to ignore
commercial software. I do not have any commercial software installed, so it
should b esafe to ignore.

I'll wait a couple more days, as you suggested. If that fails, I'll
probably upgrade by way of the downloaded CD. This will be my first upgrade
of a Debian system - it's quite different from OpenSuse, lol.

Thanks for your time,
