Here's the deal and reason I'm asking for your help. Last night I went on upgrading my Xubuntu 12.10 installation to 13.04, so at tty1 I run the command
sudo do-release-upgrade
and everything seemed to went well except that after rebooting and when I run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
I get this error:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
