Public bug reported:
I followed the instructions to perform an ISO-based release upgrade at:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD
When prompted if I would like to automatically install pending updates,
I select "No". The dialog indicates that if No is chosen, no network
access is required.
When the upgrade gets to the "Getting new packages" stage, the first
1100 of 1640 or so package files are all fetched locally. Around 1100,
the release upgrade tool begins downloading packages from the network.
If the network is disconnected, the tool fails with download errors from
us.archive.ubuntu.com.
/var/log/dist-upgrade/{main,apt}.log don't have anything interesting.
In fact, it logs "doUpdate() will not use the network because
self.useNetwork==false". I will attach these logs.
I am upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10.
