** Description changed: Binary package hint: update-manager Attempting to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 using the Alternate ISO image which is loop-mounted fails. - Mounting the ISO image at /media/cdrom0 as described in the - [[http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading|upgrade guide]] or even at - /media/cdrom directly doesn't cause the software sources manager to - recognise the volume as containing packages, + Mounting the ISO image at /media/cdrom0 as described in the <a + href="http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading";>upgrade guide</a> or + even at /media/cdrom directly doesn't cause the software sources manager + to recognise the volume as containing packages, After manually launching sudo sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade the upgrading is initiated; the mount point is added to the sources in the "third party" tab as cdrom: and other sources are modified respectively. However the mounted ISO source is not recognised properly in the software sources manager section titled "Installable from CD-ROM/DVD, and attempting to add it manually using "Add CD-ROM" fails. When prompted to specify whether I want to include updates from the Internet, choosing "No" doesn't seem to have any effect; the upgrader still does fetch packages from the Internet, and unplugging the network causes the fetching to fail. It seems that the cdrom:/ source, although present, isn't used at all. - I faced this problem yesterday when updating from 8.04 to 8.10, + I faced this problem earlier when updating the same system from 8.04 to + 8.10, I've seen reports for this bug, but the posters end up burning the iso to a CD-ROM or upgrading through the network. [e.g: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-640626.html] I've also seen related bug reports, but not the same: #294057, #222319, and #155833
