You should enable hardy-updates, this has been fixed already.

Well, in that case, why doesn;t the upgrader do that for me?

All I did was click the "upgrade me" button. Surely that shouldn't
result in these sorts of errors - especially if they're already fixed?

You didn't have gutsy-updates enabled for universe therefore the upgrader respected your choice and didn't enable hardy-updates for universe either.

OK, thanks. That's a bunch of "local slang" I don't understand I'm
afraid - I'm not dim, and I've been hacking since I was about 8 years
old, and using Debian for a good few years now, followed by Ubuntu.
However, nowhere in Adept Manager can I see a mention of "universe" or
"gutsy-updates". Calling it a "choice" is a bit extreme, I don't
recall making a choice about "gutsy-updates" ever!

I have Security updates enabled, recommended updates seems to be
"grey" - what does that mean? And proposed and unsupported updates are
cleared.

I realise you are not "tech support", but I'd like to understand what
I did wrong!

Cheers,
Martin

No problem, I'll turn this into a question.

The updates options in adept correspond, I believe, to the different update repositories:
"Security updates" = security
"Recommended updates" = updates
"Unsupported updates" = backports
"Pre-release updates" = proposed

So, you have to enable "recommended updates". I don't know why it might be grey--can you tick it anyway?

Ahah, yes, I've ticked that and it seems to now be downloading more things.

Thanks!

Excellent--has that successfully installed a version of Plucker now?
