[Bug 1178226] [NEW] Upgrade to quantal won't start

Thu May 9 11:46:52 UTC 2013

Public bug reported:

I just run the do-release-upgrade like following:

root at ns3:/etc# do-release-upgrade
proxy '\' looks invalid
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [198 B]
Get:2 Upgrade tool [1198 kB]
Fetched 1198 kB in 0s (0 B/s)
authenticate 'quantal.tar.gz' against 'quantal.tar.gz.gpg'
extracting 'quantal.tar.gz'

Continue running under SSH?

This session appears to be running under ssh. It is not recommended
to perform a upgrade over ssh currently because in case of failure it
is harder to recover.

If you continue, an additional ssh daemon will be started at port
'1022'.
Do you want to continue?

Continue [yN] y

A fatal error occurred

Please report this as a bug and include the files
/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log in
your report. The upgrade has aborted.
Your original sources.list was saved in
/etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade.
