10.4 cdromupgrade crashes with "if not "universe" in self.found_components[self.toDist]: KeyError: 'lucid' "

[Matt Wilkie]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I'm trying to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 using the alternate cd (amd64).
I put the cd in the drive, answered yes to run distribution upgrade,
No to use network, Yes to overwrite sources even though there is no mirror specified.
It did some things, then disappeared with no message or warning.
The lightning crash icon appeared in the menu bar.
When I clicked on it and said yes to report bug it told me it couldn't gave me a huge list of outdated packages as to the reason why.

I then opened a terminal and ran 'sudo sh /path/to/cdromupgrade'.
Same results as previous but with messages in the console, pasted below.

This system has been upgraded several times over the years; I think I started with Ubuntu 7.10.
The last dist-upgrade was a couple of weeks ago, 9.4 to 9.10. Other than some annoying problems with losing access to the local console to do the dreading flashing screen bug, now fixed, that upgrade was without obvious error. I've used the system in the interim normal activities (mail, surfing, some inkscape drawing).

While I was typing this bug report two Update Manager dialogs popped up. I did nothing to summon them.
One is a warning, "Not all updates can be installed", "run a partial upgrade to ...etc"
The second is "Software updates are available for this computer", "New Ubuntu release '10.04 LTS' is available", with some "Other updates" listed beneath.

[Matt Wilkie (maphew)]

I let it install the other updates. When finished it wanted to do a partial upgrade, which I said yes to. After that I seemed to have been finally upgraded to 10.4. However after reboot the display was broken, which is why it's taken me so long to get back to this.

[Matt Wilkie (maphew)]

3 additional times update-manager said a partial upgrade was recommended. I answered yes, and it installed and removed some stuff.

However now whenever I run update-manager it still offers a partial upgrade, but each time I do it stops with "Your system is up to date. There are no upgrades available for your system. The upgrade will now be cancelled".

[Matt Wilkie (maphew)]

ahh, there were 5 packages held back for some reason (gparted, esound-clients and dependents). I used synaptic to upgrade them manually and now update-manager is happy.
