upgrading to feisty

[Lachlan Musicman]

Hey, thanks for your reply - it made me go and investigate.

I had no idea that apt was deprecated for Aptitude.

I tried all of the above, but I'm getting big errors on the python 2.5:

Compiling /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/docutils/languages/ja.py ...
Sorry: LookupError: ("no codec search functions registered: can't find
encoding",)
...
pycentral: pycentral rtinstall: package python-docutils: error
byte-compiling files (153)
pycentral rtinstall: package python-docutils: error byte-compiling files (153)

and then it fails?

cheers
L.
