I also have this bug, 32 bit system, going from 9.04 to 9.10. The first time I attempted to upgrade, the upgrade stalled on I think "Getting New Packages", I think while downloading file 392 of a lot more than that. I canceled the upgrade then rebooted. I started the upgrade again, and got this error on "Setting New Software Channels", "Checking Package Manager" at the bottom.
I am very new at this, sorry if this is useless information. I'd normally go to forums but cannot find any forums where this error is discussed. ** Attachment added: "More logs from another instance" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34659840/bug.tar -- Upgrade from Ubuntu UNR 9.04 to 9.10 fails with essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' can not be found anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446956 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
