Title:
  release upgrade from dapper to hardy possibly due to network error

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Background:

  My server is running in hosting centre who offer a number of LINUX distro's.
  For Ubuntu they only offer 6.06 LTS which has been imaged on to my server.
  My connection is SSH via PuTTY and WinSCP

  Problem:

  I am attepting to upgrade to 8.04 following this document
  http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

  I have carried out the following steps:

  enable the "dapper-updates" repository

  install the new "update-manager-core" package - dependencies include
  python-apt, python-gnupginterface and python2.4-apt.

  run "do-release-upgrade -d" in a terminal window

  The repository I added was:
  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted
  deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted

  after which I did an update

  when I run the do-release-upgrade -d I get the following errors:

  Error during update

  A problem occurred during the update. This is usually some sort of
  network problem, please check your network connection and retry.

  I was advised to not use the -d option as 8.04 has moved to main.
  I re-imaged the server and ran the same procedure as above.

  I now get the following error:

  Invalid package information

  After your package information was updated the essential package
  'ubuntu-standard' can not be found anymore.
  This indicates a serious error, please report this bug against the
  'update-manager' package and include the files in
  /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.
