Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
I have Edgy Server installed (upgraded from Dapper). I run update-manager (from a remote xterm) and it offers me to upgrade to 7.04. I accept, but it soon dies (relatively gracefully) because there is no ubuntu-desktop installed, and it says it can't upgrade without that. Of course there isn't. It's a server, and Ubuntu doesn't install desktop stuff (another 600MB) on its server distro. This is a big disappointment to the server administrator who is offered a tool to upgrade! Correct behaviour would be to - not offer to do the server dist-upgrade in upgrade-manager - know how to upgrade something that is a server, not a desktop If policy is that servers shouldn't be managed with GUIs, then the gui should recognise that it is dealing with a server and not offer to upgrade. If this is the policy, then this can also be considered a feature request. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- upgrade-manager for server fails to upgrade distribution (feisty-edgy), despite offering, for lack of a desktop installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149538 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
