I seem to have run into some brain damage on my end but in doing so recognized that some slightly more descriptive documentation could help avoid this for other users. I am a long time Debian user and have recently decided to try out Kubuntu for a couple reasons I wont go into here, leave it to say I know my way around.
I found directions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuDistUpgrade and read all the way through them before starting. The *Important:* note at the bottom actually threw me off. I read it as meaning that Adept would have to be quit after Adept had started Fetching Updates, understandably a boneheaded move now that the upgrade failed in a variety of ways but perhaps not an uncommon mistake. As such I would propose that the *Important:* message be changed from: Important: there is a bug in the tool, you need to quit Adept after it has started. to: Important: there is a bug in the dist-upgrade tool, you need to quit Adept after the dist-upgrade tool has started. Perhaps this is exact to the point of being redundant but it would have saved me trouble within my first 24 hours of running Ubuntu. -i -- SRU: updates necessary for Kubuntu Upgrade Tool in Edgy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84717 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
