I hate to say it but I feel like I'm back in MS-land. Maybe someone
could share their
sources.list that worked for my situation - going up from 7.04 to 7.10?
The last two attempts at upgrading Ubuntu automagically using
System | Administration | Update Manager
failed and for similar problems: failure to connect to servers (404s) and
Now, going from 7.04 to 7.10, I see errors during "preparing the
upgrade" like:
Failed to fetch

404 Not Found

When I go to
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
I see, indeed, that ../dists/edgy-updates/ does not exist!
In going up from 6.xx (I forget what ".xx" was but it was up-to-date) to
7.04, I found an
obscure tip that enabled changing sources.list to find the correct
files! One should not
have to do this!
I'll wait before going to the next level: I see too many problems to go
to version 8.xx.
Thanks in advance.
