[gNewSense-users] Problems with upgrade to Ucclia

[dww]

Hello all,

Last week I attempted an upgrade from Parkes to Ucclia.

I changed my sources.list

from 

# deb cdrom:[gNewSense 3.0 _Parkes_ - Build i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary
20130805-18:58]/ parkes main 

# deb cdrom:[gNewSense 3.0 _Parkes_ - Build i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary
20130805-18:58]/ parkes main 

        # deb file:/home/dennis/openjdk6_synaptic_package/Packages/ / 

        deb http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-three/gnewsense/
        parkes main 
        deb-src
        http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-three/gnewsense/parkes
        main 

        deb
        
http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-three/gnewsense/parkes-security main 
        deb-src
        
http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-three/gnewsense/parkes-security main 

        # parkes-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
        deb http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-three/gnewsense/
        parkes-updates main 
        deb-src
        
http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-three/gnewsense/parkes-updates main 


to 


        deb http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense ucclia main
        deb-src http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense ucclia main

        deb http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense ucclia-updates main
        deb-src http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense ucclia-updates main

        deb http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense ucclia-security main
        deb-src http://us.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense ucclia-security main

I did a "sudo apt-get update" followed by a "sudo apt-get upgrade" which seemed 
to go OK
However, System Monitor indicated that Parkes was still installed, I looked at 
Synaptic and there were many Wheezy or ucclia items that were the latest 
versions
but not upgraded.

I then did a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" with the following error:


        Calculating upgrade... Failed
        The following packages have unmet dependencies:
        initscripts : Breaks: nfs-common (< 1:1.2.5-3) but 1:1.2.2-4squeeze2 is 
to be installed
        E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be 
caused by held packages.
        
When I tried to open Update manager I get the error in the attached image.

In  Synaptic I could install some packages but others I get the error "Could 
not apply changes! Fix broken packages first."

When I select "Fix Broken Packages" I get a number of errors repeat in the 
message box "E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may 
be caused by held packages. E: Unable to correct dependencies"
        
I followed with a "sudo apt-get autoremove" and retried "sudo apt-get 
dist-upgrade with the same error as previously.
I seemed to be in a loop, does anyone have any suggestions?

Also in Synaptic when I tried to view the repositories I get the message: "The 
repository information has changed. You have to click on the "Reload" button 
for your changes to take effect."
I clicked on Reload and tried to view the repositories but get the same 
message.  Another loop.

Nothing happens when I attempt to start "Software Sources" from System 
Preference.

Any suggestions would be helpful

Thanks,
Dennis
