said Slávek Banko: | I always strictly avoided the Ubuntu tool because one of the steps it | performs is to disable all external apt sources. But this step is a very | good reason for causing conflicts during the dist-upgrade. | | Instead, I use the classic Debian way == change the distribution name in | all apt sources lists and then the common procedure: | | apt-get udpate | apt-get upgrade | apt-get clean | apt-get dist-upgrade | apt-get clean | apt-get autoremove well, i'm about ready to push the button on this and before doing so (in hope of avoiding irrational and panicked "what did i do wrong" posts to the list!) i thought i'd post the contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list file, in case i'm missing something obvious here it is: # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the ## distribution. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team.
