Bug Description
I used the Synaptic Package Manager to upgrade my DELL Inspiron B130 laptop from Breezy to Dapper. It went for quite a while, then broke with this error:
A fatal error occured.
Please report this as a bug and include the files /var/log/
Your original sources.list was saved in /etc/apt/
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File "/usr/lib/
raise NoSectionError(
NoSectionError: no section: 'Distro'
The laptop boots, but clearly something went wrong. I now have an upgrade CD to use. I'm happy to provide the files mentioned above, but cannot until I get a network connection working (ethernet or wireless). When I click the wlan0 connection in the top menu bar, I get this error: SIOCGIFFLAGS error: no such device.
What does 'Distro' mean and how can I fix it?
What do I do with the original sources.list file?
What should be my next step? Repeat the upgrade from CD?
