Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
I am running Ubuntu Server Jaunty on a NSLU2 device.
uname -a
Linux magicbox 2.6.28-14-ixp4xx #47-Ubuntu Sat Jul 25 03:06:10 UTC 2009 armv5tel GNU/Linux
I wanted to upgrade to Karmic and I run:
sudo do-release-upgrade
(as advised at https:/

And then it asked me to report this bug.
I attach full log from console (after downloading packages) plus files from /var/log/
So it seems that ixp4xx is no longer supported in karmic (https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ debian- installer/ +bug/392238). However it would be nice if upgrade tool could detect this and warn (or better stop) me.
