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...

Have you tried running it again? Often I find it gives those sort of errors when you change the sources.list file and then you run it again and it comes right...

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)
Uh, to all the other people who replied...did you read the errors?! No offense :) It's looking for "dapper Badger". That's probably a clue that something ain't right. I'm not sure about the rest of the online repositories; I'd be willing to bet that something ain't right there, but it could just be that the nz archives seem to be a bit unreliable, not that there is anything wrong with the actual syntax in the souces.list. Remove the CD-ROM entry from sources.list as a first course of action. Then make sure that what's left looks like this: ## Begin sources.list deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe multiverse deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe multiverse ## End sources.list Hope this helps :) On Fri, 2006-06-09 at 10:30 +1200, Joshua M.

That is only a problem with the CD entry in the sources.list. CDs are added to apt-get with the release name, as stored in /cdrom/.disk/info. The line in the list would have read something like "deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051031)]/ breezy main restricted", and so a search/replace would have affected it in the way you describe. The line should be removed completely, and if you want to add another CD, use 'apt-cdrom add'. The rest of the errors were due to not having run apt-get update to get the new entries from the Internet. Craig
