There's an issue with an Alpha/Beta Release of Ubuntu, what should I do?
I started upgrading to 12.10 in terminal and was asked what to do about a change in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades vs /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.dpkg-new.
D was an option to see what the difference is between the two.
I googled and looked into all unkown issues on ubuntu forums but I can't figure out why a 10.04 LTS server won't detect the last LTS 12.04.1.
I have been upgrading to 12.10 beta 1 but ran into a issue, it asked which version of update manager I would like to use but when I pressed details (D) for more info it got stuck at that screen and I don’t know how to get it updating again.
Here is the current terminal output

I'm trying to upgrade one of my servers from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 12.10 using the following commands.
First I edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal. Then I start the upgrade with do-release-upgrade -d
The upgrade starts but fails immediately with the following output. I've already googled for this problem but didn't find any information.
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
Prompt=normal;
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
Follow me so far? Hope so....

I'm trying to upgrade my 10.04 server using do-release-upgrade, but it keeps saying there is no new version available.
If I change the prompt config in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to normal, I am able to upgrade to 10.10 though, but I don't want to perform 4 separate upgrades in order to reach the new lts.
New release 'oneiric' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.

Checking for a new ubuntu release
No new release found
why does it say there is an upgrade then says it does not find it?
I have been slowly upgrading from 9x to 11.04. I had some issues along the way but nothing google could not help me with.
I am in the process of updating a bunch of machines to 12.xx.
For regular package updates I tried apt-proxy, which had random hiccups (clients hanging on various headers).
I'm trying to upgrade our ubuntu server 11.04 to 11.10. I did an apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. Now, im trying to execute do-release upgrade.
