Public bug reported:
Version 10.10 running satisfactorily.
Started update manager which identified outstanding updates. Told system to
install updates.
all outstanding updates disappeared from list so assumed all okay. System shown
as up to date.
System showed upgrade to 11.04 available so went ahead with upgrade.
After a long time upgrading, system displayed message not all updates can be
installed.
new message appears. Run a partial upgrade to install as many as possible.
Pressed proceed.
New message appears. An upgrade from Natty to Maverick is not supported with
this tool.
But it has done a partial upgrade and left the system showing the old 10.10
desktop with 11.04 kernal and updated firefox and two different versions of
terminal installed.
Then gave messages my Hardware was not sufficient to run 11.04.
Action.
Had spare hard drive identical to current hard drive both brand new and tested
and working properly.
Installed 11.04 onto my spare hard drive from the live CD and it runs
perfectly. So nothing wrong with my hardware as reported.
Observations.
If update manager was able to identify that an update had not installed it
should report which one failed to update.
Update manager should not allow you to attempt an upgrade if it knows it has
not correctly updated all necessary packages for upgrade to complete.
Partial upgrades are of no use simply leaving most novices like me totally
lost.
How can the system tell you a) A partial upgrade is possible . b) Then when
you proceed with partial upgrade tell you it cannot carry out a partial
upgrade. c) Then actually carry out a partial upgrade.
Net result system completely messed up as detailed above.
