Whats the best way to update Ubuntu 9.04?
- by Fu86
I have a Ubuntu 9.04 server which has no packase support anymore. If I want to update my package lists, I get th following errors:
Err http://de.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/multiverse Packages
404 Not Found [IP: 141.30.13.10 80]
W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 141.30.13.10 80]
....
I read at the official Ubuntu-Support-Page, that there is a update-manager-core-Package to upgrade to a new release. Unfortunately I dont have this package installed and I am unable to install it because of the lack of package sources.
EDIT: Installing the package update-manager-core from another release doesn't work because it depends on a higher version of python-apt. (Tried with 10.04)
$ dpkg -i update-manager-core_0.134.7_amd64.deb
Selecting previously deselected package update-manager-core.

Unpacking update-manager-core (from update-manager-core_0.134.7_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of update-manager-core:
update-manager-core depends on python-apt (>= 0.7.13.4ubuntu3); however:
Version of python-apt on system is 0.7.9~exp2ubuntu10.
update-manager-core depends on python-gnupginterface; however:
Package python-gnupginterface is not installed.
dpkg: error processing update-manager-core (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

update-manager-core
So, whats the best way to upgrade to to current Release without reinstalling the complete (virtual) server?
