[Bug 371000] Re: Not possible to nicely upgrade from old dist

[Roland Orre]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: upgrade-system
  
- First I'm a computer expert and I have a PhD in computer science.
  Our media computer at home (kubuntu) was running feisty, and I as was going to update the system.
  Then it says things like:
  Failed to fetch http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404 Not Found [IP: 130.239.18.173 80]
  
  I searched the web for a reasonable way to update from feisty to jaunty but didn't find any
  The only reasonable way I could do it was to edit /etc/apt/sources.list as
  s/feisty/hardy/g
- which is completely unacceptable, it is like Canonical would have been purchased by Microsoft just to kill it.
+ which is consider only doable for computer geeks.
  
- You should not need to be a PhD in computer science to updated your system, then even XP is better.
- I have been very disappointed by debian's update path earlier, as suddenly your system is obsolete,
- it should always be easy to upgrade, otherwise we are lost.
+ I have been disappointed by debian's update path earlier, as suddenly your system is obsolete, I consider that
+ it should always be possible to upgrade. Even though I realize that it can be a tough problem.
