Update Manager when upgrading to 7.10 ends with "error during update"

Hi!

Try to comment with "#" at the beginning the lines of lowvoice.nl... and attach your /etc/apt/sources.list to this bug.

Thanks

I think that I had the same problem; however I was asked to report the file /var/log/dist-upgrade/
In this directory there are however several files, too long to report here. I think I should compress the directory, but this is rather difficult for me.
thanks anyhow - wibo

Hi,
       I don't understand where you want me to add the '#' character to. Can you please explain which file you're referring to.

       I will attach my /etc/apt/sources.list to this message.

Hi!

Don't use automatix, it breaks Ubuntu...

$ sudo apt-get --purge remove automatix

And replace yours sources.list with the one attached to this bug.

Next time, use Answers to ask for this type of questions, it isn't a bug.

I tried the above command line, however it did not remove automatix. I was able to remove automatix with Synaptic Package Manager.

Done.

Now when I use the menu option System / Administration / Update Manager

then I select "New distribution release '7.10' is available" [ Upgrade ] <--- button.

the upgrade begins normally then ends with a error.

"Error during update

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

Thank you for your help. Now at least I'm only getting one (1) error instead of three errors.

I would appreciate your help as to what I should do next.
