Hi guys,
I'm trying to update to Dapper from Kubuntu.
I have updated my sources.list as root, replacing "Breezy" with "dapper".
I get the following errors....
Building dependency tree... Done Calculating upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
This looks like you've run 'apt-get upgrade' to upgrade the packages before running 'apt-get update' to get new package lists. apt-get even helpfully offered this :)
By the way, if you run 'apt-get -u upgrade' with the -u flag then it will give you a bit more information about which packages it will get (or hold back).

To upgrade my kubuntu to dapper (from hoary) I edited sources.list ran apt-get update then ran apt-get dist-upgrade as per the man dist-upgrade dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new ver‐ sions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important pack‐ ages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also apt_prefer‐ ences(5) for a mechanism for overriding the general settings for individual packages. You may also want to update kde afterwards, as dapper kubuntu came with kde-3.5.2 as per the instructions found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-353.php Regards Shane (Who should be doing assignments)
