I can't seem to find it in my mail archives at the moment, but I seem to
remember that this issue was discussed before and at that time it was said
that upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04 would NOT be supported, so you'd have to
upgrade to Intrepid first and then to Jaunty, or just do a clean install.
However, an upgrade between LTS releases (such as Hardy to Karmic) would be
supported.
