Thanks OwlBoy, that does seems to be the same issue I'm having.

Unfortunately there's no solution to the problem other than upgrading to unstable ubuntu, which for some reason my system doesn't seem to do with "do-release-upgrade -d". At least there's some light at the end of the tunnel.t

I'll do some more troubleshooting and paste my findings on that thread, hopefully we'll get to the bottom of the problem.

If you want to avoid trouble, never do "do-release-upgrade". Recently I tried for curiosity and it ruined my system. It's much faster and stable to do a clean installation. I have separate partitions for boot, root, and home. A new installation does format boot and root partitions, some configurations steps and finished.

I haven't had any problem with the "do-release-upgrade" command on multiple linux machines.

As you might have not noticed from my post the problem is with "do-release-upgrade -d"


For some reason it does not think I have a devel release available.

I've fixed that by editing the sources.list manually and doing a "apt-get dist-upgrade", unfortunately my problem is not fixed. but this is all irrelevant to this thread.

thanks
