Root issue is described here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta1#Upgrades

"In some cases, the package manager in Ubuntu 11.10 may not be able to decide on a correct unpack ordering when upgrading 64-bit systems with the ia32-libs package installed; if this is the case, it will fail before starting to unpack any new packages with a message something like "Couldn't configure pre-depend libtinfo5 for libncurses5, probably a dependency cycle". A workaround is to install the apt and libapt-pkg4.12 packages from precise (Ubuntu 12.04) before starting the upgrade. (924079)"

Please look at the workaround procedure here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/924079/comments/23

If you are upgrading from lucid instead of oneiric, then replace oneiric with lucid in the commands described here:

Ok. Many thanks. I'll try this. I will report if it solves my problem.

Should I do this? (from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta1#Upgrades)
I did have a message about multiarch
No /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch on my server...

The ia32-libs package that used to provide 32-bit libraries on 64-bit (amd64) installations has been removed in favour of multiarch. Systems using ia32-libs must migrate to multiarch in order to upgrade to 12.04. In most cases, this should be set up automatically by the upgrade process. Some users who upgraded through previous development releases may have removed /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch, and must restore it with the contents foreign-architecture i386 in order to have 32-bit library support in 12.04.

I only recommend performing the workaround procedure here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/924079/comments/23

to fix the following error message:

SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Could not install upgrades
Error...
'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend multiarch-support for
libapt-pkg4.12, probably a dependency cycle.'

I have no further suggestions to make.

I did:
  sed 's/lucid/precise/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
  apt-get update
(so far so good), then:
  apt-get install apt python-apt
This does not try (as I expected) to install just these two but suggests to upgrade 110 packets, new 45 and remove 7.
To scare the hell out of me the confirmation has to be a complete sentence: 'Yes, do as I say'.
This seems to be a complete upgrade to Precise instead of preparing for the release-upgrade as suggested.

Does anyone have experience with this?

There should be absolutely no reason to be scared, as you have made backups of your configuration files and personal files, right??

If you do not have backups, then you should do so right now before upgrading.

If the upgrade fails, I suggest performing a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which will probably give cleaner results (in this case).

Thanks for your comfort - I do have a backup of this (virtual) machine.

Now I have tried:
sed 's/lucid/precise/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install apt python-apt

Result: it's wanting to upgrade 110, install 45 and delete 7 (instead of just install apt and python-apt).
+ WARNNG... lzma will be deleted and this should not be done (reason dpkg)

Despite all this I gave it a try by typing the sentence 'Yes, do as I say!'
Result after downloading:
E: Kon onmiddellijke configuratie van 'python-minimal' niet uitvoeren. Voor details zie 'man 5 apt.conf', onder APT::Immediate-Configure. (2)
E: Could not execute immediate configuration of 'python-minimal'. For details see 'man 5 apt.conf', at APT::Immediate-Configure. (2)

Aha, that is an interesting one... :-)

Try these commands:

sudo apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f apt python-minimal

sudo apt-get -f install

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hope it helps.

Thank you Mark, I think we're getting closer.

apt and python-minimal were installed now thanks to 'apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f apt python-minimal'
After that I went back to sources-list for lucid and did 'do-release-upgrade' (you recommended apt-get dist-upgrade, I assume with sources set to precise) so I was 'eigenwijs' - I could try again from scratch and then stick to the precise sources list and run dist-upgrade as you said.

So now I ran into 'SystenError: E-Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)'

Resuming my problem:
If I give the Lucid to Precise upgrade a new try, should I do sed on sources list (replace lucid by precise) first or just run

sudo apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f apt python-minimal
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

with lucid sources?

Or should i replace 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' with 'sudo do-release-upgrade' ?

I read a lot of complaints and different approaches for this bug
I'm getting a bit confused, already had about 5 failures, each time starting all over from the backupped Lucid machine...

Q 2:
Is it correct that after the upgrade (with errors) Linux is 3.2.0-30 GENERIC?
It used to be 2.6.32-xx SERVER

3.2.0-30-generic is exactly the same kernel version as the one I am running on my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop.

I suggest the following procedure, which is an ugly hack that works for me. Your mileage may vary....

Only put the following lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list file (replacing lucid with precise):

Hi Mark.
Sorry it took so long, was too busy to further experiment on this.

After editing sources.lst as indicated above I did this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install aptitude
--- ERROR: python-minimal error, so I did:
apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f apt python-minimal
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
--- (1st iteration) ok
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
--- (2nd iteration) zie errors in Report below
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
(3rd .....) 0,0,0...!

Things seem to work now, but still with linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic.
It WAS a server - see Report below

So I'm still not very happy.
Meanwhile some apt-updates appeared in the live-production machine of which I copied a VM to do this upgrade-trial.
Maybe I should start all over with a copy of the current live machine?

ADD: Report (partly in Dutch - if that's annoying for someone I'll translate it for her/him.

Hi Mark.
Sorry it took so long, was too busy to further experiment on this.

After editing sources.lst as indicated above I did this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install aptitude
 --- ERROR: python-minimal error, so I did:
apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f apt python-minimal
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
 ---  (1st iteration)  ok
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
 ---  (2nd iteration)  zie errors in Report below
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
  (3rd .....)   0,0,0...!

Things seem to work now, but still with linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic.
It WAS a server - see Report below

So I'm still not very happy.
Meanwhile some apt-updates appeared in the live-production machine of which I copied a VM to do this upgrade-trial.
Maybe I should start all over with a copy of the current live machine?

ADD: Report (partly in Dutch - if that's annoying for someone I'll translate it for her/him.
