I am a rather experience unix user, and i am sick of it. If the upgrade authentication works, the dependency check fails, and if that does not fail.. there surely be something else that waste hours/days/weeks time to troubleshoot. It lacks consitency, servers change urls, authentification methods change, keys change - its a big inconsistet mess. I tried above, and i end up with the very same error message anyways.

It does not seem to care that i just did the dbg, wait and then & ctrl-c.

What now? i dont want to deal with encrytion shit - 404 errors on update servers and the like.

So far, the only linux system where this has worked flawlessly was openSUSE
again the germans are way ahead ..

sorry folks, i had a bad day. i dont mean to belittle the assistance given here.

and with that it hits everywhere when i try to either upgrade or install software and i have no idea what to do because im new to ubuntu and i got from a live cd.

SOrry tu buzz in like this, but i had a running WEB/SQL/Mail server on ubuntu 6 and decided to
upgrade to 7.04 from your tutorial…and guess what…it messed up my entire system.
Fortunate enough i had a backup from my important files and i dediced to migrate to debian for more stability
So i just thought you should know, that this did not work for me .
Anyways, i`m glad you posted this here. I am also sure that if you would have a “empty” system, this might have worked
Cheers, and no offence
