Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
When upgrading a system from an alternate installer CD you execute the
cdromupgrade script on the CD to initiate the upgrade. However if you
do not run this with an absolute path it will fail with a very non-
obvious error:
/media/disk# ./cdromupgrade
tar: ./dists/jaunty/main/dist-upgrader/binary-all//jaunty.tar.gz: Cannot
open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Could not find the upgrade application in the archive, exiting
/media/disk#
We should at least tell the user to use an absolute path, if not simply
cope.
