    Cannot Upgrade to Lynx

    Hey guys

    when I try to upgrade to the new Kubuntu 10.04 via do-release-upgrade i get the following error:

    Checking for a new ubuntu release
    Done Upgrade tool signature
    Done Upgrade tool
    Done downloading
    extracting 'lucid.tar.gz'
    authenticate 'lucid.tar.gz' against 'lucid.tar.gz.gpg'
    exception from gpg: GnuPG exited non-zero, with code 127
    Debug information

    gpg: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC


    Authentication failed
    Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server.

    I'm quite new to linux so I have no idea what to do right now.
    Hope you can help me Thanks.

    Re: Cannot Upgrade to Lynx

    Hi

    I know this won't be the answer to your problem, but personally I do not suggest upgrading. Fresh install seems to be the best way to insure a stable system. I've had problems with upgrading before & decided not to do it again.

    If you have a separate "/home" partition, just format the root "/" partition & install the OS there & mount "/home" without formating.

    This is a good practice cause even "if" the system totally fails & won't boot, just grab the cd, format "/" & install + mount "/home" & your desktop is there infront of you with all of your files.

    Some programs & settings could be missing, but its a LOT less headache when it is in the same partition, or lets say using Windows.

      Try first to change the server that you will do the upgrade. Second try to install update-manager from ubuntu and after upgrade the system with that tool. Is more stable from the Kubuntu update,upgrade tools

          Re: Cannot Upgrade to Lynx

          I had a similar (not quite the same) problem where authentication failed early on in trying to upgrade. What I must have done some months back in my tinkering around with KDE was erase some authentication keys. Once I realized that, the fix was easy. Here were the steps:

          1) Open Add/Remove Software (Adept Installer)
          2) Enter password
          3) Click 'Source' icon on top left side
          4) Click 'Edit Software Sources' button in the middle of the window
          5) Click 'Authentication' tab in the new window
          6) Click 'Restore Defaults' button toward the bottom right
          7) Then close the 'Software Source' window and the 'Adept' window

          After that the upgrade worked for me. I hope it works for you.

            I am having the same problem, but when I click Restore Defaults, nothing changes and I still get the problem with the authentication. I don't know if I'm just a moron, but it doesn't seem to want to update. Any suggestions?

              On what entries in your sources are you getting the authentication error(s)?

                There are no entries in sources. I don't know what happened to them...

                  Open a console and type:
                  Code:
                  cd /etc/apt
                  You should have this file:
                  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2853 2010-05-06 19:44 sources.list
                  It should be larger than zero bytes. If you have it then type:
                  Code:
                  cat sources.list
                  Copy and paste the output.

                  If you don't have this file (would be unusual), then you should have the following directory shown:
                  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-05-06 18:35 sources.list.d
                  Type:
                  cd sources.list.d
                  Individual .list files live here and we will need to see what they contain.

                      I see nothing wrong with your file.

                      When you run:
                      Code:
                      sudo apt-get update
                      in a console, what happens? Copy and paste any error messages.

                      Wait! Are you trying to upgrade from Karmic to Lucid? This sources.list is using entries for Karmic.

                        Yes I am still on Karmic Koala. That was the last update I had. I got busy with school and haven't been able to keep up as well as I would like. Is that a problem to the update?

                        if you still want it, here are the errors I get, by the way:
                        Code:
                        W: GPG error: [url]http://dl.google.com[/url] stable Release: Unknown error executing gpgv

                              You do have at least one third-party repository - Google. In a console, in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory, type:
                              vdir
                              Copy and paste the output please.
