Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 To 10.04 Upgrade Failing To Fetch Packages
May 4, 2010
I'm trying to upgrade my 9.10 desktop to 10.04, and it is failing to fetch the following two packages:
[URL]
I've made sure everything is patched current prior to the upgrade and have tried clearing out the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/partial first as well to no avail.
9.04 has not been updating and is giving these messages. Failed to fetch [URL]...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] Failed to fetch [URL]...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] Failed to fetch [URL]...rce/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] Failed to fetch [URL]...rce/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] Failed to fetch [URL]...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] ..... Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Fail to fetch 2 ppa.launchpad.net addresses and another cause the upgrade to terminate. The error messages suggest some type of network error. Should I wait a week and try the upgrade again?
Problem with my upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. I got the update manager to show the upgrade to 11.04 button - proceeded. It downloaded 1300 files or there abouts then did a failed to fetch http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/pool/main/g/. I took a screen shot which left the rest out - also did a select all - copy - no paste occurred. - re-obtained. So I'm thinking that the missing files are missing on this server and my current thought is that I will go to another server and try downloading from that one. BTW did the same upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 to be able to upgrade to 11.04 that one worked well I didn't know there was a 10.10 upgrade since I got here; there are a few problems that went away.. This upgrade only showed after changing my status to normal from long term.

while upgrading packages in my ubuntu 10.4 i m receiving following exception

Currently have 9.04 installed. Wanted to upgrade to 9.10. Down loaded and burned alternate CD. The desktop doesn't have internet access. The upgrade failed and generated an error:
Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...0.9.10_all.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]

Is it possible edit/alter a script to point to correct file and get by this error?
I am having trouble upgrading and updating. When updating the file downloads to 99% and then stops. The error message is:
[Code]...
I believe this has something to do with a power outage while upgrading a few days ago. Most of the install completed after rebooting, all except the three 'linux kernel image' files and a few others. Also, as a side issue, Flash plugin and Flex builder are no longer working. This may be unrelated. Does any one have any trouble shooting advice for the issue?
I upgraded to natty on release day and everything went fine, but about three days ago when I went to update my sources, I get this: Code: sudo apt-get update Code: W: Failed to fetch [URL] Sources 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch [URL] Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I've looked through the forums, but similar problems are always tied to the mozilla repo, not this one. It seems important, so I'm not sure if I should just delete it or what. My sources.list looks like this: Code: # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)]/ maverick main restricted # See [URL] for how to upgrade to newer versions of the distribution. deb [URL] natty main restricted deb-src [URL] natty main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the distribution .....
I have upgraded this system 3 or 4 times from Lucid to Meerkat without any problems. After a nasty update to my Natty installation I have re-installed Lucid and am upgrading to Meerkat, then on to Natty again. However when I try to upgrade I am getting the error below.
I've tried to upgrade my FC8 on Presario F700 series laptop to FC 10 and facing some issues. I've a live CD (i386). Initially i tried upgrading FC 8 to FC 10 and installation was stuck around 30% completion saying its unable to fins libdbi-0.8.3-1.fc9.i386.rpm. Then I tried to install FC 10 from scratch as system went to inconsistent state and faced two issues with two different setup options -
1) when i selected necessary software to be installed for office use and development, it failed after installing 20% saying libgnomeui-devel-2.24.0-2.fc10.i386.rpm
2) i then opted for for software to be installed for office use (default option) then it failed after installing around 50% saying libXrandr-1.2.3-1.fc10.i386.rpm
im trying to understand if this is a problem due to my laptop configuration (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Duel Core) or due to issue with the live CD.
I have been working on Redhat family of distributions since past 1 year. Two days back I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. I am novice to Package Management in Debian family of Linux distributions. My Internet connection is working fine. But I am not able to install any package with apt-get package Manager. Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file
Code:
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted
I'm a fresh user of Debian 6 64 Bit. I'm trying to install wine on it to run bluestacks. URL... but when I use the following command, it can't seem to fetch some files/packages. I have these as my sources list at the moment.

Am trying to upgrade from karmic 9.1 to lucid 10.04 and have the problem that as part of the upgrade I get a report that some packages are broken. As suggested posting the relevant files APT and MAIN Logs from the /var/log/dist-upgrade below.
I just started having a problem with my ubuntu Jaunty.When I try installing Gimp and VLC through Synaptic I get the following error Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade The following packages have unresolvable dependancies. Make sure that all repositories are added and enabled in the preferences
gimp: Depends: libgimp2.0 (>=2.6.10) but 2.6.6-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>=1.29.3) but 1.26.0-0ubuntu2 is to be installed Depends: libc6 (>=2.11) but 2.9-4ubuntu6.2 is to be installed I get similar message for VLC as well
I installed Amarok after this problem started and it installed properly.
I've just upgraded 10.4 to 10.10 and everything works fine and looks good but I now have the usual palaver of needing to remove some default packages that have been installed but which I don't want such as Empathy and Evolution. Is there any way to upgrade to a new release without getting all the default software packages?
Since I had problems with Openoffice since the upgrade to 9.10, I've tried to uninstall all openoffice. I've searched for 'openoffice' in synaptic and uninstalled all thet I've found. It has uninstalled many other things, thunderbird, firefox and god only knows what other. Now, there is a way to know what are the packages installed by default? Or, to install all the dafault packages? Or, there is a log of what I've uninstalled?
Here is the apt.log from running 'do-release-upgrade'. apt-get upgrade runs without issue and I have disabled all of the extra repos I had (opera, tor, lucid-propsed, chromium). My system is otherwise 100% up to date with apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get upgrade. I have already purged all of my PPAs using 'ppa-purge', but it looks like there are remnants of xorg-edgers in there somewhere: [URL]
After upgrading from one version of Ubuntu to another, what happens to packages that have been installed prior to the upgrade that have higher version numbers (are newer) than the ones that are supposed to be installed via the Ubuntu upgrade?Specifically, I'm referring to compiling the latest version of FreeType to try to alleviate some dependency issues related to compiling Wine (I need a custom Wine patch), and I was wondering what would happen if I had a newer version of FreeType installed if I then later upgraded from Lucid to Maverick, and if Maverick used an older version of FreeType by default than the one already installed on my system.
I have been upgrading 10.4 to 10.10, but in the middle of the new package download my computer turned off (outage). Now Ubuntu won't restart the upgrade or install the packages already downloaded; it tells me it "Could not determine the upgrade" and that unresolvable problems occurred, caused by held packages. How can I reset things to restart the upgrade?
I keep on getting this red " - " icon on my panel and I try to perform the upgrade it prompts me to do. But it says that there are 3 broken packages i need to fix with the "broken filter". How do I fix this so I can upgrade?
I want to upgrade to 11.04 but I'm extremely scared of breaking my installation. First of all, I have all that experimental Compiz bling installed, does it break anything with Natty's Compiz? It obviously won't work because Natty uses 0.9 while Maverick uses 0.8, but I don't want any dummy plugins or anything. Also, these plugins are way too cool to miss (I just installed them and now I can't live without the extra eye-candy). And what's with my awkward startup settings? I have a compiz --replace --loose-binding command in there and many disabled docks that, in KDE, all launch simultaneously (including Compiz, which renders everything unusable) and completely screw the desktop (I stopped caring about KDE now). Also, my setup feels like my computer's going to blow up any minute while upgrading because of too much dull packages, including gnome-shell which I don't use after all. My computer is, in terms of packages, a complete junkyard! So, is it safe to upgrade with this setup, if yes, tell me the recommended way to do this (CD, update manager?) or if not, how do I scrap that from my updates forever? By the way, will the upgrade also ruin KDE?
I am trying to upgrade to ubuntu 11.04 from my current 10.10 system. If I try to upgrade with Upgrade Manager it stops at calculating upgrade step and I can see red circle at top left corner, hovering over this gives message - An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'

Using Xubuntu,I have upgraded from Karmic to Lucid. Post upgrading when attempting to install a new package with aptitude, it is reported that cups is "BROKEN" and a host of packages are marked for removal.
I use the CD upgrade method to upgrade my kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10.Not to mention,the ISO image of the CD is this one :kubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso.At the first run I choose YES for the prompt asking for internet connection or whatever, but I immediately realise that I have chosen a wrong option, so I exit and restart the upgrade all over again.On the second run, I choose NO for the prompt , then the installation continues until it reaches the 'fetching files' stage. It pops up and says "The upgrade has aborted. Please check your internet connection or installation media and try again. All files downloaded so far are kept."
I don't want to reinstall the whole system again because I want my applications;I don't want to use the updater to upgrade because I have a low internet speed .
