enable the "dapper-updates" repository
install the new "update-
run "do-release-upgrade -d" in a terminal window

I was advised to not use the -d option as 8.04 has moved to main.
I re-imaged the server and ran the same procedure as above.
I now get the following error:
Invalid package information
After your package information was updated the essential package
'ubuntu-standard' can not be found anymore.
This indicates a serious error, please report this bug against the
'update-manager' package and include the files in
