Bug Description

To upgrade from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on my PowerPC maschine I try the suggested command

gksu "update-manager -c"

in the Terminal. At "Fetching and installing the upgrades" I rescieved a windows which says

======================================
Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'

Ein erforderliches Paket konnte nicht installiert werden. Bitte erstellen Sie hierfür einen Fehlerbericht.
======================================
(The german text says that: One essential package could not been installed. Please create a bug report for this here.)

Maybe the ubuntu-desktop package isn't available right now.

Starting gksu "update-manager -c" shows on the terminal also this:

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:17: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet
  warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)

The same happens if I use the Ubuntu 6.10 Desktop CD to upgrade.

I started the upgrade using

sudo "bash /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

and at "Fetching and installing the upgrades" I also rescieved a windows which says

======================================
Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'
