Upgrading lucid to precies has the following missing candidates:
No candidate ver: libbind9-50
No candidate ver: libdns53
No candidate ver: libisc50
No candidate ver: libisccc50
No candidate ver: libisccfg50

This was output during do-release-upgrade -d, while testing

Sorry for the delay. Can you confirm whether this is still a problem? It may have been a temporary issue with the mirror. Thanks.

I just tested this on a clone of the server and it is still an issue:

  Installing libcurl3 as Depends of curl
No candidate ver: libbind9-50
No candidate ver: libdns53
No candidate ver: libisc50
No candidate ver: libisccc50

Do you want to start the upgrade?

3 installed packages are no longer supported by Canonical. You can
still get support from the community.

8 packages are going to be removed. 189 new packages are going to be
installed. 572 packages are going to be upgraded.

You have to download a total of 319 M. This download will take about
4 minutes with your connection.

Installing the upgrade can take several hours. Once the download has
finished, the process cannot be canceled.

What is the output of:

Do you want this output before upgrade or after (failed) upgrade?
This is after:
libdns53:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
     1:9.6.1.dfsg.P1-3ubuntu0.3 0

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

Can you install the package with 'apt-get'?

Again this is was run from the machine with a failed update:
apt-get install libdns53
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libdns53 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libdns53 has no installation candidate

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

I am interested in what an update will look like. Are there any errors in an apt-get update?

If you want, you can run the command then copy and paste the output to a file, and attach that file here. I do see that duplicate error. We may have to clear that up to fix the issue.

apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  odbcinst: Depends: odbcinst1debian2 (>= 2.2.14p2) but it is not installed
  perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.14.2-6ubuntu1) but 5.10.1-8ubuntu2.1 is installed
  slapd: Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (= 2.4.21-0ubuntu5.7) but 2.4.28-1.1ubuntu3 is installed
  unixodbc: Depends: odbcinst1debian2 (>= 2.2.11-3) but it is not installed
            Depends: libodbc1 (>= 2.2.14p2-3) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Maybe this is caused by the do-release-upgrade failing (a.k.a. we are testing on a broken system)? I could retest this from the begining (as I am using an image of the actual server) if you tell me what alterations I need to do before the do-release-upgrade -d.

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

Well now, if you like, we can clear out the old logs and try a do-release-upgrade again. If it fails you can attach the new logs. I just wanted to get rid of the 'No candidate ver:' errors and they look like they are gone.

If you want to clear out the old logs run:

sudo rm -r /var/log/dist-upgrade/*

The release-upgrade does not go well. Isn't it better to try to do a release upgrade from the image before any update to precise? I have the idea that it got borked as I let the upgrade continue with these missing candidates.

Sure, try a fresh one and see if it works.

Hhmm, I run into trouble... I start with a clean 10.04 server. when I run do-release-upgrade -d I get the missing candidate warnings so I cancel... I then run the commands you provided:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.list
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages

I then run do-release-upgrade -d again but I still get the missing candidates warnings...

[stop (whoopwhoop)]

Maybe I forgot something or need to do something different?

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

Well you should not get those errors with a fresh install. Is it a "fresh" install or an image from an already installed system?

I have a server running and when I installed it years ago I also installed an virtualbox image with the same packages... I test updates on this image before updating the actual server...
Recently I was testing a do-release-upgrade on this image and I got these warnings...
I did not install any packages that where not part of the repository

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

Interesting. I am going to try this on my testbed machine and see if I can reproduce it.

Oh yeah, just attach the logs from the most recent upgrade attempt. Thanks. (The one you did after clearing the old logs)

Well it seems to be a local error. I have just finished installing a fresh 10.04 and updated to 12.04 without issue. I would suggest opening a thread in the 'Answers' part of launchpad, askubuntu.com, or the ubuntu forums. They may be able to assist in a more timely manner fixing your problem.

I wouldn't expect the problem to pop up on a freshpa's 10.04 without any additional packages installed. But all the packages on my system are from the repository. No ppa's, deb's or custom compiled software was used...

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

What I find odd it that your getting a duplicate error in the sources file. That should definitely not be the case with a fresh install. Had you release upgraded that machine in the past?

Also attach the most recent logs. (/var/log/dist-upgrade) Looking at your older ones, I didnt see an error in regards to upgrading. I understand you were getting that candidate message but it was not throwing up any error messages in the logs.

You are running lucid but have precise sources for some reason....

Can you install perl-base by any chance?

How about using the 'sudo apt-get -f install' command to correct all dependencies?

"You are running lucid but have precise sources for some reason...."
Possibly/probably because the do-release-upgrade -d fails and does not complete... I think this is caused by an ldap upgrade failure:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap/+bug/943664
 I'm not sure what the relation is with this issue and the missing candidates issue

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

Well you are correct. It looks like sldap is the reason for your problem proceeding.

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/slapd_2.4.28-1.1ubuntu3_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I would suggest filing a bug against that package. This report is rather large now so it would not be the best for me to change packages at this point.

You mean the one I allready did (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap/+bug/943664) or a new one?

[RedSingularity (redsingularity)]

Oh ok, the one you filed is good. Not sure who works on that package though. If it goes stale over time and no one touches it, pop into #ubuntu-bugs in IRC and just ask someone to have a look. You may want to do that now, i see the last comment was in February.
