Dist upgrade fails (offline, alternate-cd, cdromupgrade)

[sleeping-scorpion]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Ran cdromupgrade from alternate cd: ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso

Get the following error dialogue:

Could not determine the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

 This can be caused by:
 * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.

Thanks for taking the time to report this. You are trying to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.10 correct?

[sleeping-scorpion (sleeping-scorpion)]

No, I'm upgrading from 10.04 LTS 64-bit on a HP DV6582eu (DV6000 series) laptop.

results of "cat /etc/issue":
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS \n \l

results of uname -a
"Linux dv6000 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 00:51:09 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux"

Thanks

Sorry, I looked right over the distro you were running in the bug description.

Ok, please run the following command and attach the file to your next post:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list > ~/Desktop/File

[sleeping-scorpion (sleeping-scorpion)]

Result of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list > ~/Desktop/sources-list-output.txt" attached.

First comment out all the sources in the list. When done it should look like the attached file i have added. All the sources should have a # before them.

[sleeping-scorpion (sleeping-scorpion)]

Ok, commented out all lines with #.

Tried cdromupgrade again, chose off-line option again, then got the following dialogue box:
-----------------------------------
No valid mirror found

While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the upgrade was found. This can happen if you run an internal mirror or if the mirror information is out of date.

Do you want to rewrite your 'sources.list' file anyway? If you choose 'Yes' here it will update all 'lucid' to 'maverick' entries.
If you select 'No' the upgrade will cancel.
------------------------------------

Selected Yes, then errored again with the same message as in my initial description above.

This looks like a duplicate bug but try one more thing. Run:

apt-cdrom add &> ~/Desktop/file

And attach the output file.

[sleeping-scorpion (sleeping-scorpion)]

Requested file attached.

FYI - I am mounting the ISO using :

sudo mount -o loop /media/dev/incoming/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso /media/cdrom0/

/etc/fstab line relating to cdrom0 looks like this :

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
