13.04 upgrade fails

Asked by Professor George F. Hart

I just tried to upgrade to 13.04 and got the following:

Unable to load page

Problem occurred while loading the URL http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/ReleaseAnnouncement.html?lang=en_US&os=ubuntu&ver=13.04

Cannot resolve hostname (archive.ubuntu.com)

........................................................................................................................
This is my /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 ZULU localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
127.0.1.1 ZULU

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
........................................................................................................
and /etc/hostname
ZULU
........................................................................................................
These look OK to me - any idea what is wrong?

Try to change server and retry.

Go to update-manager > Settings > Ubuntu Software(tab) and change the server to "main".
