[Bug 848659] Re: Upgrade from natty fails with 64-bit oneiric beta cd

[Tim Frost]

Using the daily build ISO http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/20110915
/oneiric-alternate-amd64.iso appeared to work in a 64-bit virtual
machine.  With internet access available, it also downloaded packages
files for the 32-bit architecture.   However, the actual upgrade aborted
part-way through.  The contents of /var/lib/apt/lists are all files for
oneiric (68 files, see attachment).

Most of the installed packages are reported by 'apt-get dist-upgrade' as
still to be upgraded.

Title:
  Upgrade from natty fails with 64-bit oneiric beta cd

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “update-manager” source package in Oneiric:
  New

Bug description:
  System is running 64-bit natty.  When I insert a CD burnt from image
  ubuntu-11.10-beta1-alternate-amd64.iso,  the upgrade process runs
  until it is attempting to process the i386 Packages files.  At that
  step, the upgrade process stops with error 'W:Failed to fetch
  cdrom://Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Beta amd64
  (20110901)/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages  Please use apt-
  cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be
  used to add new CD-ROMs'

  I note that the two i386 Packages.gz files are 20 bytes, corresponding
  to a zero-length uncompressed file.

  Contents of /var/log/dist-upgrade attached as a tar archive
