I have found a workaround. If you do apt-get install dpkg (dpkg is
already installed so the effect is to upgrade dpkg) then it does this;
The following extra packages will be installed:
liblzma5 multiarch-support xz-utils
Suggested packages:
xz-lzma
The following NEW packages will be installed:
liblzma5 multiarch-support xz-utils
The following packages will be upgraded:
dpkg
1 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 264 not upgraded.
Once this completes, you can then do the dist-upgrade without warnings
** Description changed:
When doing dist-upgrade from (fully patched) 10.04 LTS x64 "Lucid" to
12.04 LTS x64 "Precise" (beta1) you are warned;
WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
lzma (due to dpkg)
+
+
+ I should note that the actual steps I followed from 10.04 were;
+
+ source set to "lucid"
+ upgrade
+ dist-upgrade
+ change sources to "precise"
+ upgrade
+ dist-upgrade
