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

[Michael Vogt]

Thanks for your bugreport.

I just tried this on a fresh install of natty amd64 in a clean VM. Then I added the oneiric alternative CD 
and with both network and networkless upgrade option it recognized  the CD and offered a correct update.

So at least the default case should work. I will still investigate why
the previous attempt gave you the error.

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

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

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.
